the. past couple months it is becoming increasingly brutal police state and yet the united states stands by the monarchy the united states is refusing condemn the intervention by the neighboring family dictatorships to suppress what is at least as a legitimate a pro-democracy movement as you've seen in other arab states matthew where you think about that in new york. i think that we've heard the phrase double standard thrown around i think what we're actually seeing is a relatively consistent set of standards applied to widely differing circumstances in libya there was an urgent call to action the arab league asked us to intervene forces were moving towards benghazi and more market off a promise to raise the city and killed citizens in bahrain there are these abuses in their tragic and there are four and they're evil there's not something that we can do we can stop a motorcade from going to a particular city because these forces are in the same cities they're both in the nama. so there's just not the same urgent call for a response to say what do you think about that i mean there are differ

general and civil war in the united states. troops in the army especially in the union army used hot air balloons to get above the trees from sea for the enemy was and of course the first airplanes to be used in world war one were centrally precautions pretty clear were designed to fly open book and she really only one. space then has been called the ultimate high ground and the advantage to the state that can seize and maintain the high ground is the same as holding the high ground throughout history whether there was a hill a mountain or in the latter half of the twentieth century the air or space. implies the use of force weapons from space to crown is treasuring the protection of america's satellites in the face of potential threats is the responsibility of the us air force the united states is going to become the world's policeman does that title resonate with you do you have any reaction to that do you think is accurate if it were accurate how would it play out if you look at the first roles of the united states navy when

as alarming as such numbers maybe, the united states homicide rate involving -- it is the united states homicide rate involving handguns that makes the united states stand apart internationally. in 1996, for example, handguns were used to murder 30 people in great britain, 106 in canada, 15 in japan, and 9,390 in the united states. the cdc, center for disease control, reports the rate of firearm deaths, that is the number of americans shot to death per hundred thousand as hovers between 8.8 and 9.2 for white americans in 2000 and 2005, between 7.5 and 7.8 for hispanic or latino americans, and between 18.4 and 19.3 for african-americans. such statistics suggest that there is something unique and frightening happening in the united states. of course, the homicide rate is only one measure of violence. i talk about all kinds of different things in the book. and in part, that's the point. to sort of look at under currents of violence in american life to look at what i call the ethoughts of violence in american culture and american society. and accordingly, i spend time in the book in the fir

columbia is a great ally of the united states. it's ashame this free trade pack was languishing in the senate as long as it was. thanks goodness there's another outstanding trade agreement that should be moved on and that's the panama free trade agreement as well. but you're absolutely right about china. china and -- chavez is playing a central role, reaching out to the chinese and iranians and russians. their influence now is growing in latin america. >> can you specify -- am -- >> go ahead, you're fine. >> what is china precisely doing? isn't it building that railroad that is supposed to compete with the panama canal and want a port south? >> let's separate those if we can. in the case of panama to the good point because unlike columbia, panama is a service economy. it does not have the labor issues, doesn't have the baggage, it doesn't have the leftist uprising, it doesn't have the paramilitary, it doesn't have any of that baggage that columbia has. there's no good reason for the united states not to have free trade with panama.

question why the united states more time to be there why does the united states when you think a game it's the united states now i think the end game is to. get rid of the regime for several reasons one it breaks up china as well supplied from from libya to get rid of gadhafi who refuse to join the united states paratrooper in command you know we've set up an african command and in two thousand and seven the purpose i think was to counteract china's economic penetration. with american military organization so you get forty nine of the african countries and the united states eric information ok does he refuse to that's another reason to want him out of the third reason is he's not a us puppet and so we the americans don't completely control the mediterranean coast now i'm sorry king of the mediterranean one issue i want to put up you brought up written a little bit about syria where there is you know protest then going on now do you think that the united states syria is much closer to a libya as far as its relation to the united states then egypt or other countrie

years during which they could have brought collude sheikh mohammad and his coconspirators to the united states for trial and they didn't and that's two years before congress put in place a ban on transferring any point on the detainees to the united states for trial but i want to ality disingenuous to turn around and say i'm sorry that it was just congress is right i didn't mean to interrupt you but i just do you think it's really politically possible that it just would have been that simple that the obama administration could have transferred those suspects to the u.s. i mean already we've seen obama not be able to deliver on his campaign pledge to close gitmo and even he said it just proved to be too politically difficult so with the opposition that is beyond just the restrictions from congress we've seen more recently do you think it really could have happened is that a little optimistic to believe that it happened. no i mean and in fact this was a cornerstone of his campaign was closing guantanamo bay and bringing these people to justice and yes closing guantanamo bay is challenging becaus

to tech united states to put the united states out of the middle east and the authoritarian regimes of the united states in the middle east would then fall so saudi arabia would fall and the mubarak regime would fall. this was the principal aim of the law non 9/11. the opposite happened. we occupied if and stan and iraq. the strategy did not think carefully in terms of what he was actually trying to achieve. none of the outcomes have anything to do with al qaeda. it was the popular revolution about any cannibal government. the strategy didn't work on 9/11. we made some strategic missteps in response. osama bin laden going back to the question of why is more the answer he thought war was the answer because it was the only way to basically put enough pressure on the united states to change its policies in the muslim world. that turned out to be untrue. when we spoke to him in 1997 he based that analysis on the idea of the united states is week as the former soviet union which he had fought in afghanistan. he based that on our withdrawal from vietnam and beirut in 1983 after the attacks a

to go after peace activists in the mideast i mean the midwest of the united states over twenty peace activists are now resisting the special grand jury that was called to go after them and so we have this problem in the united states to i know the united states also just now criticized for something that a lot of people see as a human rights abuse and that is the case of first class bradley manning. united nations representative on torture i'm talking about one mendez he just issued a reprimand to the united states and this is something that's where this is something that doesn't happen in terms of the u.n. issuing reprimands to the u.s. usually it's to much more authoritarian countries and it says you know he wanted to meet with bradley manning and the u.s. refused to let him so that's that's one case that's going on here but it's interesting when you look at this report this human rights private came out and talk about some of the finding activists like yourselves journalists detained and arrested talk about some of the sort of what you see as hypocrisy in this report that th

things worse for ourselves indeed we're confirming what osama bin laden has been saying about the united states for the past fifteen years and if that's the case you know if we're not pulling the muslim world it's the same that we may be fooling the media world in the united states i've got some of your interview several of your interviews on mainstream us media channels and it seems that anchors are very very surprised with the analysis that you give but you're not the only person that is that things like this you know secretary gates a nationally thought it would be a bad idea to get involved in libya when you talk about the involvement of the u.s. the relationship with israel and the arab world i mean not something that betray us general petraeus as spoken about so why do you think these things come to such a state come as such a surprise to the media i think part of it is because our education system in the united states is so terrible with the media going to tucker's career square in cairo in the interviewed a few dozen well groomed middle class educated muslims who can speak english and t

talked about the relevance of international institutions like nato and the united nations when in reality only when the united states wants to do these types of military actions does it happen the u.s. is the main driving force behind it there is no such thing as nato without the united states so let's be clear here that the u.s. is running this operation i wouldn't say that it's only a political calculations though i do think that some of the key people within the obama administration are what i would call cruise missile liberals people like susan rice people like samantha power who do believe in sort of a humanitarian bombing or humanitarian war which of course should be just a grotesquely oxymoronic phrase but you do have some pretty key neoliberals that have pushed for these kinds of wars before susan rice for instance the u.n. the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. before obama was elected was really agitating for similar action to be taken in sudan calling for airstrikes and aiding rebels on the ground so i think this is part of the kind of cruise missile liberal call that permeates some of these more right wing demo

their parents' birth wealth lies an opportunity wise is some sort of natural state of affairs the situation we had the unitedstates from the thirty's to the mid seventy's with a big middle class and a lot of opportunity and a relatively good distribution of income was actually a very delicate and exceptional situation and if you don't rebuild those delicate exceptional situations with good public infrastructure actually in schools access to medical care affordable higher education and a redistributive tax system that helps people lower down the economic why then it goes away it's not some sort of birthright it's not some natural state it's a very fragile social contract in arrangement which we've been actively tearing down for thirty or forty years and never cease to become shocked when we notice some of the secondary effects of destroying that he quality and opportunity and hansing system that we once enjoyed max what you just described is almost to a t. the progressive caucus is budget and yet the president's budget which doesn't do eighty or ninety percent of what you just described and the democrats budg

statement blasting the united states for its own human rights violations here reported violations that are not documented or even discussed in this report the chinese also interestingly condemned the united states government for using the issue of human rights in this report in particular to lecture and to specifically defame the other governments in the world that are become targets of u.s. foreign policy and as you go through the list you can clearly see that that's the case and let's bring some of those things up i mean for example china criticizes the u.s. for the civilian deaths in iraq and afghanistan it criticizes the u.s. government and the u.s. for what happened with prisoner abuse and also criticizes the u.s. of for the restriction of wiki leaks for the attempted research of wiki leaks well calling for unrestricted internet access around the world in other countries talk about how this report is seen and some of these specific things are seen from the outside well i think it's. seen largely right now as an act of great hypocrisy a tremendous double standard for us trying to j

how violent a place the united states really is. according to the justice department, the homicide rate declined in the united states from a spike of 10.5 per 100,000 in 1991 to 6.1 in 2000, the lowest rate since 19 of 7. 1967. by comparison, according to the world health organization, the homicide rates in france, germany and great britain in the same year, in 2000, were .6, .8 and .9 respectively. children in the united states are far more likely to be shot and killed than their counterparts in other industrial nations. the firearms homicide rate is 16 times higher for american children. as alarming as such numbers may be, the united states' homicide rate involving -- it is the united states' homicide rate involving handguns that makes the united states stand apart internationally. in 1996, for example, handguns were used to murder 0 people in -- 30 people in great britain, 106 in canada, 15 in japan and 9,390 in the united states. the cdc, the center for disease control, reports the rate of firearms death -- that is the number of

the united states and particularly its intelligence services worry about an attack on the united states that is not nuclear weapons chemical that is not biological but is technological. a surprise attack against its satellites is a catastrophic. scenario studied by the u.s. forces by knocking out fifty u.s. military satellites the chinese could literally cripple the u.s. . they could prevent the military from being able to communicate with its forces they could blind the u.s. intelligence community which uses electro optics satellites to determine military force movements around the world and they could also cripple the guidance systems that are used on precision guided munitions that are satellite guided. in many senses could be a kind of an electronic pearl harbor. without space the u.s. would be unable to conduct any type of military operation in an effective way. the civilian space industry generates more than two hundred fifty billion dollars every year the destruction of even a single orbiting satellite could put at risk the economy daily lives and well being of millions of citize

between the united states and mexico, the war with the narcoterrorist gangs that's coming into the united states daily, bringing their wears into this country. the secretary of homeland security, janet napolitano, recently said that the border now is better than it ever has been. i take issue with that comment. for a lot of reasons. one, i have been to the southern border of the united states, primarily in texas with the border with mexico. been there numerous times. just recently got back from the border of arizona and mexico, and what i saw does not look like a secure border. of course, she said, it was better than it ever has been, but that's not the question. the question is, is the border of the united states secure? and the answer to that question, in my opinion, is no, it is not secure. let's talk about this issue, this issue's been around for a long time. there seems to be a lot said about it, but as my grandfather used to say, when all is said and done more is said than done. and the border between the united states and mexico is not secure. i'm not sure if it's better than it ha

country and you see the defense secretary robert gates saying that it's not the business of the united states to intervene in the internal affairs of yemen the fact is that the united states has been waging a covert war inside yemen for the past ten years and it has been ratcheted up dramatically by the obama administration in december of two thousand and nine president obama has two very deadly air strikes against yemen valving tomahawk cruise missiles with cluster bombs that can shred human beings and the alleged target of those air strikes in december of zero nine were members of al qaeda in the arabian peninsula in reality though one of the strikes killed twenty one children and scores of others civilians and another strike the u.s. did killed an important tribal leader in yemen who in fact was trying to work out a mediation program with the members of al qaeda in the arabian peninsula so as long as ali abdullah saleh the president of yemen allows the united states to his country to kill people inside of yemen and he himself will take responsibility for those actions as has been revealed

either you don't know these countries or i work on the saying the most undemocratic state on earth is the saudi kingdom the best friend of the united states of america but in terms of the quality of life for the most people there it's not like it was in libya and nor. in syria i am only here and i have to be here i have to jump in here if i want to change had all the oil of the saudi kingdom of course the people would have a better quality of life in syria i mean this is nothing. you know and the fact actually if you look at the real figures of the saudi kingdom the fact that you have poverty in the saudi kingdom the spiders are huge all wealth a lot about the kind of regime that you have there all right you know and this is the i mean by any standard if you think the women standard which also has been used by western countries a by states as a pretext in iraq or afghanistan or anything like that well what about the saudi kingdom which is one of the most appalling situation for women if not the most are calling after the probably been have vanished on earth and when you compare the iran to the saudi kingdom here on the then suddenl

the same nature. in europe, where the state system originated, the state is losing its significance, and they're trying to form a larger unithe middle east, the states never took hold in the same manner and on the same pages, and there is a religious overtone to the contest. in asia, the states have a character more similar to what the european states. all i'm saying is that when the secretary today has to make a decision, she is not talking about the same phenomenon in every part of the world. she has to understand the different cultures, the different histories, and she has to try to bring that into a coherent relationship. and for americans who did not until fairly recently have to engage in foreign policy on a regular basis, that is a tough road. >> rose: secretary clinton what, do you think the world and member states of the world community expect from the united states? what kind of leadership? >> i think that the united states remains a dominant power in the world today, the dominant power on many measures. but as henry said, you know, the art of diplomacy is to balance the power you have with the aims you seek in an

you are going to do fine. >> host: let's talk about the united states them because obviously is a set of beginning, ultimately this book exists because you want to take the measure of the changes in the united states that have both been effective and might still be affected by this ideological shift that brought barack obama and at least the democratic party until the election of 2010 into positions of dominant authority in the united states. so you reduce one example of the failure of the socialist system in the public education system and a new take on obamacare so why don't we start with the public education system. how does that deserve the term socialist? >> guest: because it is precisely the government providing nonpublic goods and using central planning to do it. if you think of the schools as a means of production, as a kind of factory, they are government owned. all the people are government employees. the curricula are paid by government agencies. everything is run to the state and we have got all these wonderful plans about we are going to invest this generation in science

each year this design meant initiative is rejected by the united states. it is hundred sixty two one hundred seventy two one united states is the only nation actually voted against this were isolated on this issue. while we john is pushed our allies into consideration of more strategic independence from the united states in space and some people would argue perhaps in europe that that's a good thing maybe it's better that europe has strategic independence and space because they can service account away but from a a us view point it would seem to me that you would want your allies integrated into your system. to flick of russia dollar by the european military should equip itself with a wider array of military space systems in support of telecommunications navigation and information for ground troops from disorganized there are only as i thought. so we don't have them which certainly weakens the european armed forces to poland and nato makes them very dependent on the american spirit. is going to what does one need when one isn't gauged in a military. in euro

>> well, i think you have to take religion seriously in the united states and i think that's the huge difference in united states and the netherlands. you've got the one most religious and secular countries in europe in the e netherlands. if you look at some basic and rntion kes do you believe the bible is the word of god or do you believe in heaven or do you believe in hell, do you believe in miracles? i think that matters when it comes to all these issues. >> the expansion of secular rights not only in the netherlands else why in europe that you speak of, and you see that expansion taking place in the united states. again going back to this core issue, what's cash dash is there any additional evidence of that? we have a church state wall between the two. doesn't that function pretty effectively to keep out influences which may diminish yew bumper sticker watty and force of our religious moraliub religious morality. but generally i think to look at a little bit of a paradox or a contribution what people believe and actual behavior. professing in religious values we also look what the

bahrain well that's i think bahrain is a separate a separate issue i think the best thing for the united states is the back away and let the cards fall where they make israel disappears if palestine disappears who cares it doesn't matter to the united states in terms of. but any kind of interests or energy or anything else how does it not matter in terms of oil how does that not matter in terms of what your bailiwick and your kind of real area of expertise is which is islamic fundamentalist terrorism with al qaeda how would that not matter to the u.s. well is it of course it doesn't matter we're going to have to take care of that ourselves but we've been we've been very childish in our approach to it already we depended on sol in yemen we did president musharraf in pakistan none of that's worked out ultimately if we're going to defeat the islamists it's going to be theft it's going to have to be done by u.s. military power is that what we're doing hardly if the world thinks that they've seen the amount of power and destruction that can be exerted by the u.s. military there are sadly mistaken bu
