i have 25 years of relation between iran and the united states after the revolution, the time the united states supported the pshaw but the focus is during the war and eight years of the presidents and eight years presidency of the reformist and eight years president of the conservative or radical. it doesn't matter what president we have, i have explained many events that all presidents tried to bring approachment between the iran and the united states. and they made a lot of tries over the 30 years and all have failed. there has been the same approach, not always from the u.s. administration but some of the administrations in the u.s. since 1979 tried to also bring an end to the hostilities between iran and the united states and americans have also failed. that is why one of the main issues in my book is the root causes of the failures of the iran and u.s. during the years. it is about the mistrust, mutual mistrust, about misunderstandings and per exceptionss and calculations. the reason and mindset of the leaders why and what is the reasons and the evidence and the facts is he cannot

this is not like the united states. this is not an issue where people are moving from iraq to syria to baltimore easily. you know, london has, you know sort of these three standards throughout europe and because of the geography, this is a great concern for them. >> i actually want to talk more about that and how the u.s. might now respond. paul joins us as well. we were looking at a live picture of the white house. we are expected to hear a briefing of the white house press secretary. there will be new questions about the united states response as well, but paul how does the american situation differ from the british situation and do you think this might push the united states toward taking further action? >> well, it differs because britain has a much greater threat. there are around 500 brits who have gone to fight in syria to join these jihadi groups. 250 are now back in the u.k. by contrast, about 100 americans have traveled, but only about a dozen who have joined. the threat is much bigger in the u.k. and i think t

china and the united states. building trust is elusive particular if one side doesn't understand what the other side thinks and why it does. that is the value of this book. and i can think of no better person to explain the iranian viewpoint to a western audience than seyed hossein mousavian who was at many events who did his und undergraduate here and has been doing research and teaching at princeton. i can recommend his book and it is for sale at the door. and i should tell you it is proved to be so poplar that we had to send out to the publisher to get more in. and he will linger a bit at the end to sign copies and chat with you. he was here two years ago to discuss his first book and i am delighted to have him back here potentially at this moment for our two countries. welcome and the floor is yours.

the united states has changed his position. what i argue in the book is the united states has been remarkably consistent to its approach. our approach has always been to encourage the peaceful uses of nuclear energy, new panera technology but to resist a military application. that was our policy with the shot and is our policy today with iran and really are willing to have him to outline to let them have possible technology but don't want them to build a clear weapons. cities possible nuclear discussions. they came to an abrupt end. marine korean domestic politics credit and their relation with the united states. possible the clear collaborations with other western powers. those were torn up. at the beginning the new leaders were not interested in nuclear technology. the first supreme leader ayatollah khamenei says acquiring nuclear weapons was against the tenets of islam, but he would change his mind in the 1980's iran had a devastating war with its neighbor, iraq, saddam hussein's iraq. and in that were set on the same used c

states. some of the rhetoric has occasionally talked about the united states. it is not central to what they are doing. there are a lot of ways this could turn into a longer engagement. they is been firm on no boots on the ground. no boots on ground. and there the question is in terms of whether this can work, can the kurdish forces hold together? one of the other reasons for action this week is there was a terrible crisis of morale and they were pulling back. and can they get their act together and it hasn't happened yet? gwen: i wonder if you put faces on the story whether this doesn't change public opinion or one of those things that foreign policy never works for you? >> there is really no cohesive strategy here. it is one thing to say the united states this is our role in the world and this is what we are going to do, i'm president i laid this out and here is my strategy going forward. that has never been put to the american public. it does look as scatter shot as it feels. the reason the president's approval rating is 36% in foreign affairs for people that

now the president of the united states had a duty to act, and he did act. he may not have done the most effective thing, clearly this plumbers unit went astray. they became lawbreakers. they were caught in a miserable crime out there in california, but there's absolutely no evidence that the president knew anything about the planning of that in advance. i respectfully submit that the president did try his, according to his best judgment, to protect the national security of this country. and the mere fact that he didn't do it perfectly and got a inexperienced group in there who certainly botched the job and were a great discredit to our country in every respect, that does not mean that he was guilty of a high crime or misdemeanor for which he should be impeached. and that is the only basis, seems to me under the constitution under which we can find him impeachable. i yield back the balance of my time. i yield my remaining time to ohio, if i may. >> the gentleman from ohio is out of the time from the gentleman of iowa expired. the gentleman from new jersey, mr

the united states, not israel, not egypt, the united states forced elections in 2006 in gaza. president bush and secretary rice thought this would be a wonderful thing. it was a terrible thing. he was right in saying it weakened the palestinian authority. which does want to seek a two-state solution. ambassador erakat supports them. i'm a washington speech writer, i don't think i would use that phrase in public, though. if your goal is to label hamas as the terrorists they are, but then also to label president abbas and the palestinian authority as people with whom we can do business, probably not helpful to say that they've been weakened. probably accurate, but probably not helpful. >> would you agree with that, david gergen? he was wrapping up his answer, then there was a pause and he said what he thought. >> i don't have any problem with that. he was pleased and not surprised. i was not surprised by the lats louisiana part. the palestinian authority has been weakened. that's been the whole argument that this conflict has hurt the moderates on both sides. in israel the hard-

the clash between the united states and isis was inevitable. the question today is whether the president of the united states is doing enough. the question is, is it too little too late. at this stage what i see is it is too little. the president doesn't want boots on the ground. i understand that, obviously. but he has to support somebody else's boots on the ground. and the only available boots willing to fight are the kurds and we need to embark on a quick program of rearming the kurds, provide them with ammunition and air support until they really can stand up on their own feet. the peshmerga, as you well know, chuck, have been famed for their prowess as a guerrilla fighting force, but that doesn't necessarily mean that they have the capability to mount offensive campaigns against a group like isis that is now -- now has tremendous capability of logistics and moving thanks to the equipment that they captured from the iraqis. >> you just pointed out something i was just about to point out. this is american made. they have captured u.s. militar

they -- a lot of what we see, this huge fight of the children not only coming to the united states as opposed to what the media will have you believe. the united nations high commissioner for refugees reported that there was a spike 5% and applications in mexico and panama and costa rica and belize. 2013.s from 2008 and at the time we see a record number of children coming from the same region. that was another big red flag right there. we could've been doing something about it. most of the children's site fear of return as the number one reason. we are very concerned in terms of how it is being dealt with the locally. aboute a little piece mexico but i am not going to go over it. mexican children sort of are being omitted. mexico isd many ways, another country is plagued by violence especially along the border. not going toi was talk about it. i will leave it there. i want to get into the why and the what. why -- the recent triggers. i will not go into too much. besides violence and the rates of homicide and that manuel talked about, we also see the militarization, the approach that

that was supported by our strong alliance with the united states, the korea-united states sent its troops to defend our freedom and democracy. after thee of japan, postwar japan, the united states reestablished japan as a new democracy after the war. we have a democratic coalition across the pacific. third, we are situated triangle. allyd states has a common of korea and japan. between korea and japan, we have not an ally but an indirect alliance through the united states. certainly, three countries have been making a lot of effort to deter north korea from its situated of threats. nuclear tests and a missile weapons,, chemical weapons of mass destruction. there is a very strong foundation for the triangular cooperative relationship among three countries. i would like to start with the relationship with china. all threeat countries, korea, u.s. and japan [indiscernible] china made a phenomenal economic and its power and influence have been increasing in asia. have a verye to cooperative relationship with china, because it is beneficial for us and maybe for china, too, to have a productive

but you hear the united states government today saying that there is a real threat to the united states. a federal alert goes out. so are there isis cells operating in the u.s. or is this a far away threat? >> there are cells in the united states. >> go ahead, bob. >> there are cells in the united states. they tell me over and over again isis is here. they don't know their plans and intentions but they're here. they're definitely trying to find that out. the fbi is work full-time on this. and the rest of it, but when you have the border with mexico, essentially wide open where i was talking to authorities today and you have these boats letting people off in california i know this sounds alarmist but isis has the ability to hit us here and the administration after the foley murder is really worried about this and that's why we have to go after isis. i don't care if we send the seals and delta force in we have to decapitate the leadership if they want to attack us. >> how seriously do you take the threat against the united states? the sleeper cells right here in this country. >> i'm not o

as the governor of the state of oklahoma and other governors across the nation that also z these my grant children in the unitede need to know what's going on. they're going to be going to our schools, entering into society and families. how do we know these are the right families or sponsors. we've been told some of the families are here illegally. we just can't get any information, and we think we have the right to know. it's our taxpayers who are going to be picking up the tab whetn r they go to our public schools. if they don't have healthcare they're going to show up in our emergency room and our healthcare facilities. in fact, right after we received our first batch of my grant children that came to oklahoma, i did take my health and human services secretary to make sure they were properly taken care of, receiving the health that they needed, that they were safe and secure and had appropriate sleeping facilities. but i saw what they wanted me to see. >> let me ask you this, what can you do about it and what can the citizens of oklahoma do about it? what can any governor, any citizens of any state in this

without the united states, the war would not have ended and we certainly turned the tide. >> united states was involved from the very beginning, whether it was economic, providing arms for the allies, whether it is volunteers going to europe to the red cross. you have americans following what is happening in the war. the immigrant communities have a clear connection in terms of their relatives and immediate family members. when the united states got involved formally in the war in the spring of 1917, it wasn't as if this was suddenly thrust upon the american people. their questions and issues that americans had been confronting and debating for quite some time. trying to mobilize the american population was a different story. that is where major wilson becomes important in how he framed the war as -- woodrow wilson becomes important in how he framed the war. he tapped into the democratic idealism of the united states and was quite effective in terms of mobilizing a country that was wholly unprepared for war. united states and one of the smallest standing armies in the world. the time the w

they made, and the united states they know. but let me tell you this, which is very important, you know that the economic issue was the last represented by the united states, because we wanted to give them, the american negotiators and president carter that the economic -- that money was not very important to us. that we had much more important issues to present, and to claim for. so we were not interested in that. when the americans construct the canal in 1914, the united states was a country and a nation very concerned about money, they did not build the canal to make money. they built the canal as a business. they built something as a service for the world. we have to keep the canal. so as panamanians, we should see the canal as a source of great income for our nation, we have to see the canal as a service we have to render. we have a great responsibility, because we will have to invest a lot of money in the improvement of the canal and that's another issue. >> the part of the treaty in which america, the united states, can c

>> i think it starts with an understanding that this is a direct threat to the united states of america, that it may be one of the biggest we have ever paced, i was astounded when the president of the united states said that the world has always been messy and it has been accent gated by social media .. that means that the president of the united states is either in denial or overwhelmed, he is either in denial or overwhelmed one of the two, because whether it but crane, which may be we will have time for a few minutes on but this is a direct threat to the united states of america and we are seeing, of course, vladimir putin on the march in ukraine. >> what should be done in the ukraine? the president is talking about more economic sanctions when he meets with nato leaders next week in europe. >> of trawl, we have got to realize what vladimir putin is. he is an old kgb colonel that wants to restore the russian empire. then yanukovych was over throw peace my by the peace of ukraine indicating their commitment to being a part of europe vladimir putin had to take crimea because of his desi

there was one that returned to the united states from syria and went back again. and then the head of the fbi declared before congress that isis proposes the greatest threat to homeland security of the united states. so where i may bit disagree with david is the president can't have it both ways. if this organization poses a threat that the fbi and head of counterterrorism claims that it does pose, then president should come out and say to the american people -- after all, his polling in the united states on foreign policy is about as low as it can get. what is he worried about? what he should be doing is mobilizing american support trying to protect the united states and protect against isis. >> thank you all very much for joining me tonight. >> good to talk to you. >>> coming up, there is more breaking news tonight. this time in hawaii where the first hurricane in 22 years is hitting at this hour. and kansas governor sam brownback is back in the show tonight.

the statistic of the united states was e -- the constitution of the united states was designed to preserve sirred value, embody certain beliefs about the nature of humanity. it was supposed to create a check against the nature of man kind. this ises why the founders believed youd in interests to counterbalance interests and the nature of hand kind dictated -- no man could be trusted with ultimate power because men were capable of great evil, which is exactly what madison said. men are not angels. if they were no government would be necessary, and if there -- we're web site and -- we're human beings -- people who are not president obama are devils and he is an angel inch his view and the views of his administration, people who work for the government are by necessity good. a self-selected group of people who are only there for the best. all the rest of us are there for the worst. we're there for self-interest, evil self-interest. why you see president obama and his wife go around to the rest of the country and say repet lid if you want to do good for the country, don't start a business, go

to the united states is the largest donor of assistance to syrian refugees. and they governments were housing those refugees, there are large refugee populations in turkey and in jordan in particular. the united states has offered assistance to those countries for those who are fleeing violence in syria. the united states is invested and is working to try to meet the urgent humanitarian situation in syria as well. but as i mentioned earlier, the situation on the ground in iraq is different from the situation in syria and merits different responses from the united states. when you are making decisions from the best core security. >> people continue to be slaughtered. >> it is a tragic situation and it is why our efforts continue in that country to try to bring an end to that suffering. the agreement to form a unity government in afghanistan and the restarting of violence, i would like your reaction. afghanistan,tes to the secretary of state was in afghanistan over the last day or two to try to broker an agreement between the two presidential candidates there. >

would the united states really d new york for trade paris? would we be willing to fight a i nuclear war if france was attacked? people would be asking, would the united states be willing to trade new york for rihad? this is an inherently incredibl> this is a threat to increase the credibility of the threat and we would do things we did during the cold war. we went forward-deployed forces in the region and nuclear weapons to make it very clear to iran that any attack would potentially result in a nuclear retaliation. we would likely have to help israel develop secure strike capabilities. one of the risks of nuclear war would come about because it's likely both iran and israel might think they have for strike advantages. helping iran launch hard on ballistic missile cycles to make sure they are survivable so this would be a costly strategy requiring major commitments and it's not like iran would have nuclear weapons for one day. this is a strategy that would need to remain in place for decades as long as iran had nuclear weapons and was hostile

one that the united states should do something to end. , president obama who as a candidate thad argued against the use of u.s. military in exactly these kinds of situations, in 2011, he authorized military intervention in the civil war in libya. >> the united states and the world faced a choice. gadhafi declared he would show no mercy to his own people. he compared them to rats. and threatened to go door to door to inflict punishment. in the past, we had seen him hang civilians. in the streets. and kill over 1,000 people in a single day. now we saw regime forces on the outskirts of the city. we knew that if we wanted -- if we waited one more day, benghazi, a city nearly the size of charlotte, could suffer a massacre that would have reverberated across the region and stained the conscience of the world. >> to prevent a massacre. that was the reason the president gave just a few years ago for his decision to authorize air strikes against libyan leader moammar gadhafi. seemingly a turning point for the president's foreign policy. a president

or are already in the united states? >> the most detailed assessment i can offer from here is that there is no evidence or indication right now that isil is actively plotting to attack the united states homeland. that is true right now. thatsaid, it is important we take the steps necessary as a part of the president's strategy to deny them a safe haven that would given the comfort he would need to consider funding this kind of tax. we also need to be vigilant about the threat that is posed by foreign fighters that individuals with western passports, that have been fighting along isil, that maybe considering returning to the west. we are vigilant about those things, and that is work that often takes place behind the scenes, that as recalibrate our security posture and have the kinds of discussions about intelligence and national security matters that are important to the safety of the united states of america, those things are not often evident to the merrick and people, but people are going to have some confidence that th

and 95% of them, 95% of them cited that the primary reason for migrating to the united states was the perception of united states immigration laws granting free passes or permissos allowing them to stay. there's no question in my mind, when you see -- you've got projected from 2011 through 2015 now a 2230% increase in these unlawful immigrants coming over the united states border. now, that's a systemic issue there. and i am absolutely convinced that the president's telegraphing of a message to central america and mexico and other places is the fundamental reason that's occurred. so i lay the suffering and some of the things that happen to these children at the feet of the president of the united states. i have no doubt about that. and certainly that's an opinion but it's a strong conviction and i think one upheld by the evidence. so my question is really to try to deal with those two things. first of all, i know your oath of office included swearing to uphold the constitution. i'm not trying to be tough on you or arrogant here, i'm trying to make a very important point. how will you

know, we aree all imposing sanctions on north --ea, the united states and the united nations, the unitedstates and korea, too. concern a potential that if japan somehow takes this opportunity to change his policy toward north korea and change the sanction regime, it could work in a different direction with the current multinational -- international sanction regime of north korea. fundamentally, i think there are limits to what north korea can do. i hope that japan can bring all the ftps back from a humanitarian viewpoint. i wish it could happen. then there might be some room for further progress of bilateral relationship. i see the limits on the front. koreay, japan and bilateral summit, there are obstacles what can be done. that we agree to disagree but there is not a reason for that alone. since the japanese government thatome to the conclusion error statement is indelible, it remains valued but it's a difficult start. abehink prime minister should make it clear that if he wants to improve the situation with south korea, he should take the initiative. if japan can send it special envoy

the united states fought the cold war. even though it was a cold war, it required lots of militarization, lots of military spending, the mx missile, b-1 bomber, strategic missile defense, the support of all kinds of action in afghanistan, somalia, nicaragua and also in supporting the measure had been in afghanistan. you supported all of those things if i recall. >> i certainly support it fighting against the soviet union because there were threatening the united states. the united states foreign policy is a broader subject and just one conflict and the decision to involve ourselves in the spanish-american war, the decision to involve ourselves in world war one, the decision to occupy iraq and afghanistan for a decade , the ones that laid the groundwork for future problems rather than solve problems and cost a lot of lives and a lot of wealth. and we have seen erosion of civil liberty as a result. these are serious problems. >> we were directly attacked. should we have gone and knocked out the targets in afghanistan, eradic

what do you say to the united states? ay, look, the real question here, is who's the bad guy here? hamas in the sense is using, with a we know as a fact, they are using schools, using mosques, using facilities in order to shoot missiles against israelis day in and day out. so this specific thing we are investigating. and i can tell you we won't shy away from taking responsibility. but in a sense, you are trying to equate and this is my point here, a democracy like israel with a terror organization like hamas p. this is like equating the united states with al qaeda. this is absolutely the good and evil here. and israel in a sense wants peace. we have shown in the past -- >> do you say to the united states though, hey, look, you now trying to take the high road, state department, you all fly drones over pakistan and kill militant along with their wives, their children all the time. do you say that? >> no, we don't. but we say, you know us. we are democracy. there is collateral damage. there is a civilian population. i show n

the united states has provided assistance to those would countries as they tried to meet the basic humanitarian needs of those fleeing violence in syria. you have seen united states take aggressive action to support the efforts of the moderate opposition to withstand the assault from the asaud regime and some cases to counter the assault. so, the united states is invested and is working to try to meet the-under general humanitarian situation in sera as well, but is a mentioned earlier, the situation on the ground in iraq different than the situation in syria and merits a different response from the united states. when you're focused on the best core national security interests of the ute. >> the massacre seems to be ongoing on a daily basis. continuing to be shalt erred there. so the -- slaughtered there. >> it is a tragic situation and why our efforts continue in that country to try to bring an end to that suffering. >> i'll get to iraq but a couple of things. the agreement to form a unity government in afghanistan, and the restarting of violence in the middle east. i imagine the president has

the israeli option is not a good option and i think it's one thing hawks and doves in the united states agree on the israeli military option is not a good one. the u.s. military option is much better simply because united states does have the capability to destroy iran's facilities. this would set iran's nuclear program back. it's difficult to estimate how much time we are buying. most estimates use the range from three to seven years but this is a worst-case estimate. these are estimates assuming iran decides immediately rebuild and doesn't encounter significant obstacles. if you start asem politics and geopolitics happened the timeline becomes longer. one of the things i talk about in the book is a look at the four countries historically who have had nuclear facilities attacked in nazi germany during world war ii iran had its nuclear facilities attacked iraq at its facilities attacked and the israelis followed up with a strike of their own in the united states and the coalition followed up with tricks of their own. in 2007 had its nuclear reactor attack from israel. one of the things

i just happen to have been raised in the united states. i think europe needs to pull up its socks. can say that as a european. and i really do think the reaffirmation of the values, the western values that have united us, some of them humanitarian, and condi and i have talked about democracy a lot, i think we need to understand who we are, what role the united states and our allies can play in the most famous recent statement i have made, which is that the world is a mess and they need us, and a reaffirmation of western values. [applause] >> we have time for one more question. right here. yes, please. >> thank you very much. michael hanna. i'm curious about, clearly we all agree getting inside president putin's head is dangerous, but last september 11, "the new york times" op-ed that president putin released about syria, reading that today is a little confusing and terrifying, given everything that has happened between now and then. what do you think president putin was after? >> you can start that. [laughter] >> bob is the one who had a certain professional camaraderie with him, s

whether he's efficient or not he was handed the country in a very a very poor state and the united states was a very very big player in this whole quagmire trying to dislodge the governments in both iraq and in syria i wonder what will it take for the united states to ever conceive that even for good reasons like democracy or freedom regime change is rarely a good idea i think rarely a good idea is probably a good way to put it by the way i would agree with a lot of your comments about maliki i think you've made them better than his government has made them in fact the criticism of maliki for not having enough sunni outreach that may be true but i think one can apportion some of the criticism on the sunni's who have made it very clear they're not interested in living under a shia prime minister that has a prime minister represent shia political power and so i think it's a very fundamental problem in iraq and so i don't i think it's a problem much deeper than maliki's behavior and whether he has kept or not kept various promises so i think he has a problem in how he's handled himself but a

honduras and el salvador and guatemala is a very different kind of thing than it is here in the united states. and we do know that there are enough gang members from some of the most violent gangs in the world using these processing facilities not only to enter the united states but to get to their family members who have been living here illegally which is all official border patrol documentation that also using these subs, 40 percent of the miners ariane man. it is a perfect breeding ground. we are talking about violent people they very much engage in murder. and in terms of border patrol not been able to separate them out, that is a policy. washington d.c. policy that does not allowed that determination between miners and juvenile is engaged in border activity. so their job, if you are an aging you fall in line. process these people through and then turn them over to ice. then ice does something with them, whether they deliver them to their parent who has been living in the united states illegally are not, that happens. there are not a lot of answers about where people are being taken. all

there was one that returned to the united states from syria and went back again. en the fbi declared that the isis proposes the threat -- greatest threat to the united states. the president can't have it both ways. if this organization poses a threat that the fbi and head of counterterrorism claims that it does pose, then president should come out and say to the american people -- his polling on foreign policy is about as low as it can get. he should be worried about mobilizing american support and trying to protect the united states against isis. >> thank you all very much for joining me tonight. >>> coming up, there is more breaking news tonight. this time in hawaii where the first hurricane in 22 years is hitting at this hour. and kansas governor sam brownback is back in the show tonight. ♪ music plays your baby will feel like dancing. when they wake up dry in pampers. while ordinary diapers only have 2 layers, pampers has 3 absorbent layers. so they stay up to three times drier. for up to twelve hours of protection. and good mornings. wishing you love, sleep an

and what is the role of the united states? >> the issue is america removing itself from being a collaborator in diplomacies. if at some point the united states were to say we can't, this is not what we can do, you want to do it? you're on your own. that could change. that could still chanthe situation. because one, israelis don't want to do is have the country live in a world where america is not there to have their back. >> question, is raabesiegman right, is america wrong to support israel as we do? if so, what should we be doing differently, as you understand the rabbi. tom rogan. >> i think the rabbi makes points on a number of issues generating a lot of concern across the world in terms of israel's conduct in gaza. i would say in contrast to what he's suggesting, the difficulty for israel, and you see this at the moment with hamas having broken another ceases fire, is how does a demak rose stand and allow itself to be continually attacked without responding? gaza is a populous, dense populated area. inevitably, there is go
