of the united nations. for me personally, it was the place where my passion as a young boy to be a global citizen, my passion was born here in san francisco in 1962. more than half a century ago, 1962, i came to the united states as a part of a young student group, international student sponsored by the american red cross society. i was just 18 years old at the time. our trip began right here in san francisco in the bay area. it was my first ever foreign trip. you may understand, it was my eye opening to the world, greater world. i was hosted by very kind [inaudible] a wonderful family in nuvauto.

it is not the war against the united states, nor one against the american people. even in the midst of war, the vietnamese people still maintain friendship with the american people. and we look forward to many americans who stood up in protest of the war and expressed solidarity with the vietnamese people. remarkable was martin luther king jr. after the end of the war vietnam advocated to put behind the past and look to the future by suffering heavily from the war with 3 million people dead, 4 million wounded, 4.8 million exposed to agent orange, and hundreds of thousands missing right in the homeland. the government and people of vietnam were actively engaged in an effective cooperation with the united states in accounting for missing soldiers. today all americans who come to vietnam, including war veterans are welcomed. and they can feel the sincere friendship of the vietnamese people. that may not be easy to understand for some, but that's the truth, that all those who used to come to vietnam could see first hand. this morning i had a meeting with senator john m

we deal with the government of the united states. ant to hear statements and rhetoric from washington that helps to build confidence rather than destroy confidence. charlie: let's talk about confidence. we noticed when you returned after the framework agreement had been signed, you were given a hero's welcome. you rode through cheering crowds in an open-air car. unusual for a foreign minister i would assume. what was that about? was it on the part of the rank-and-file average iranian citizen, somehow they want to rejoin the world want to stop this conflict with the united states and this calling of the united states, the great satan, and all of that? guest: the iranian people are rational people, people who resist pressure, resist intimidation. i think us sent on this show some time ago that iranians are allergic to pressure. whenever there is pressure, the iranians react strongly. you have seen what the pressure over the last eight years has brought the international community. maybe from 200 centrifuges, we last spoke on this show,

will it be the united states or britain? which country was going to be the leading naval power of the world? this is part of the history of international relations of the period between the two world wars that is not well known today. i want to highlight this because this is one of the major irritants, points of contention between the united states and britain between the two world wars. what size should each country's fleet be relative to the other? should britain remained the -- remain the dominant naval power? or should the united states be on par -- at least equal with that of britain? so, a naval rivalry emerges between britain and the united states after the first world war. churchill, after the first world war, the british government holds an election and this is churchill going back to his seat, his parliamentary seat in the scottish industrial fishing city of dundee up in the north and here he is delivering a speech at the end of november 1918. the war was over on the western front for a couple weeks. there you see c

the more powerful the united states becomes, and this is true today, the more powerful the united states becomes, the more dependent we are on the actions of people far away. the clearest way to make that point in our world today is to think about energy resources even though we are taking a lot of oil out of the ground now in texas and elsewhere. we are part of an oil market. how much oil the saudi's produce, even though they might be producing less than us affect how much we pay for gas. there are times where we talk about this in the course where middle eastern countries start -- a producing oil in large quantities when our prices went up. what the saudi king decides affects what you pay when you drive. that was not the case in the early 19th century. that starts to become the case in the late 19th century. the united states become connected to foreign markets. we profit from those markets. we also are dependent upon decisions. in crude terms people far away people we don't understand people we may not even respect unfortunately, they get a vote in our politics, in our society. they g

britain and the united states negotiated to make the islands available to the united states for a military base. for this purpose it was necessary to sever the islands from their dependence on mauritius, and who knows if they would become independent and stay allied with the western powers, and to remove the population. so, the british government created a separate colony known as the british indian ocean territory. biot. in 1971, when the united states when a move-in, the commissioner prohibited anyone from entering or remaining on the territory without a permit and of course no permits were given to the indigenous population. this was part of a legal faÇade constructed by the british government to deny that there was any indigenous population of the islands, fearing that article 23 of the united nations charter would forbid the construction of the base on diego garcia. the indigenous population was moved out with a "callous disregard of their interest." all of this is known and accepted by the british government. one of the islands investigators brought judicial review proceedings in eng

and the united states means are changing. and secondly, the mechanisms, the ways of dealing with the complex situation are changing as well. for instance, the united states used to rely very much on the so-called quartet. which excluded china from that. but now with this iranian nuclear issue, we've worked together for p5+1. and this also shows china wants to play a role though the united states is still the first fiddle. and china is the third one. the second one is the europeans. but we are learning. we are still in internship. to have a digression you have your american university in beirut for more than 100 years. and you have american university in cairo. we even don't have many confucius institutes there. so you can help us for that. the third one is there are emerging, new overlapping interests in cooperation. like our cooperation against piracy piracy. navigation safety security. and our cooperation on the chemical weapon issue of syria. et cetera. so i still believe the united states is the most important factor. but

"the united states stand at this moment at the summit of the world." mid august 1945. "united states stand up this moment at the summit of the world -- the united states stand at this moment at the summit of the world." that was true at that moment and has remained true ever since. from a historian's point of view what is so arresting aside from the grammar is that from the vantage point of five years earlier in 1940, that statement was just wildly improbable. so something happened between 1940 and 1945 to make the statement that would have been improbable in 1940 accurate in 1945 and of course what happened was world war ii and that is the subject. let's guess our minds back briefly -- cast our minds back briefly to 1940. the 11th year of the great depression. we believe that as late as 1940 45% of all white households and 95% of all african-american households, applying the metrics of poverty developed a generation later 45% of white households and 95% of african-american households lived below the poverty line in 1940. one hoover administration and to roosevelt admin

ambassador to the united states under the george w. bush administration has a tweet saying -- the only thing we need to verify is what obama was thinking when he agreed to it. this deal is an absolute disaster. from indiana, omar. caller: i have to say that i do support this agreement that has taken place. at the same time, i wonder how many american people even know that starting in 1979, no iranian president has ever claimed to want nuclear weapons. iran has always denied wanting nuclear weapons. for those americans call and say that they are not trustworthy they need to remember the 300 or more treaties that we made with american indians. my fear is this -- israel and its fifth column lobbyists are going to even more viciously attack this agreement through their control of too many senators and congressmen. lastly i hope we don't have some type of major attack in this country done by israel and supporters to blame it on iran to drag it into the war that israel is wanting so desperately for us to do on her behalf. host: couple folks

was a student who decided to come to the united states to pursue a phd in nuclear engineering. he arrived at the university of missouri to study and obtained his phd and decided along with his wife he wanted to stay in the united states and work in the united states rather than returning to iraq. work as aand got research professor at the university of missouri, became an integral part of the columbia community. he and his wife ultimately had five children, all of them american-born u.s. citizens. the problem is beginning of the early 1990's, for the next decade, he had numerous family member still in iraq, including 11 siblings, along with his elderly mother who was blind. millions ofs and iraqis, his family members were not just suffering great deprivation, although they were, they were literally on the boundary of starvation, typically unable to feed themselves in any way that provides major sustenance. this is incredibly common among the regime sanctions. although he was earning a modest salary, he simply could not in good conscious live even what was really a lower middle-c

as alluded to earlier tonight, the history of the united states is one that has a continuous stream of minority groups who have been targeted landscape goaded and victimized by abuses of power, african-americans being the most common and consistent example, but other groups as well, whether immigrants or accuse communists were japanese-americans during world war ii have been similarly targeted based on the knowledge that these marginalized minority groups that the government can seize power without anyone much caring about it. the air is an argument that the muslims are the latest in this continuum, the current example that has replaced communists and other groups as this favorite group from the u.s. government to target and demonize to justify abuses of power. there is an argument that one should look at it that way. i actually think there are some unique attributes about this persecution that distinguish it from those other prior examples. i think is very difficult to compare injustices quantitatively to see which are better or worse. it's not profitable to do that, there are unique

and the united states finally came to that realization. remember this all started under the george bush administration when he started the whole idea of equating limiting and curbing iran's nuclear program with an easing and a lifting of sanctions. well now it's actually happened under the obama administration. a lot of things happened in the interim. but it's happened. and zarif has said of course what they wanted was, a, to be recognized as a legitimate nuclear program which this deal does and, b, to have the sanctions lifted but also to have broader implications. this is what he told me. >> we wanted to change the nature of our relationship with the west. we didn't believe it was good for iran and the west while we have common threats and common challenges in our region to be basically entrenching ourselves in a nonissue in an unnecessary crisis in a fabricated crisis that has been created for over the past almost decade or more. >> reporter: so he said fabricated issue and a noncrisis. a lot of the world doesn't believe it's a non-crisi
