tierney has said here. we have a lawless environment in afghanistan, and while i understand the mission there and i understand the president's approach, there is still, i think, a wide distance between where we should be in terms of watching our money and resources in that country and where it is today. i honestly believe having -- i don't know maybe eight or nine trips over to afghanistan and many times on this issue and on corruption in general along with kabul bank, a whole other issue -- i honestly believe at this point that corruption, corruption is a greater enemy and greater threat to afghanistan stability than the taliban. i think the taliban can be beaten. or coon thed. i think -- coopted. i think culture in that country is a much tougher road, and i just, you know, i applaud mr. mr. tierney on his great work and mr. chaffetz has been there a number of times doing great work, and i see that dod made changes in their contracting protocols, and that's good, but i don't think it's enough. i don't thin

john tierney joins me from new york.ters, john, you talk about the fact that willpower is like a muscle. i think that concept is really interesting. if it is like a muscle, does this mean can you strengthen your willpower? >> yes, you can. also like a muscle it gets fatigued during the day as you go through the day using it, but then it also gets built up over time by exercises by doing things that actually strengthen your willpower. my co-author on this book did a study showing if you ask students to go home for the weekend, just practice sitting up straight for a week, work on their posture, when they came back to the lab they could do other tasks measure is their self-control much better even though that had nothing to do with posture. it is just having more self-control. >> as you said that, i sat up straighter. just so you know. i'll be putting it to use. so it is something you can strengthen but also something that fatigues. what's an example of it fatiguing then? >> well, simply resisting temptation. one of the cl

millions of arabs have taken to the streets to replace tierney with celebrity. no one would benefit more than if those committed to freedom and peace would prevail. this is my fervent hope. as prime minister, i cannot risk the future of the jewish state on wishful thinking. leaders must see reality as it is, not as it ought to be. we must do our best to shape the future but we cannot wish away the dangers of the present. the world around israel is definitely becoming more dangerous. militant islam has taken over lebanon and gaza. it is determined to tear apart a peace treaty is -- treaties. it has poisoned the many mines against israel and the west. it does not oppose the policies but the existence of israel. some argue that the spread of militant islam, especially in these turbulent times, if you want to slow it down, they argue, israel must make compromise. this theory sounds simple. it goes like this -- leave the territory, and peace will be advanced. the moderates will be strengthened. the radicals will be kept at bay. don't worry about the details of how yo

i know the declaration of independence as a whole thing that shows tierney of the crown over the colonists, but beside the taxes, were there any other plants in england to make the colonists more disenfranchised with them by doing more to squeeze them, money or other -- >> that's a good point. i think the feeling was -- when i taught i used to always tell my class's taxes are what people talk about but it brought them to a considerable degree may be the taxes get the ball rolling. but in time and i think it becomes a movement for greater american autonomy. the feeling that we can stand on our own 2 feet. we are capable of going it along. we don't need british protection. we want to control our own destiny. and so i think that becomes a part of this movement as well. but the british really govern with a very light hand. but there were concerns in america that if the british succeeded with taxation, then there would be something else and there would be something else beyond that. and certainly, we can look at history and we can see any number of instances. remember hitler in the 1930's, this

for older out there for anyone but it's a really tough little if you're poor, if you're living in tierneytinue in the private sector to the corporations, through non-governmental the institutions, to the angels of mercy of those relief organizations could do extraordinary work in the hardest places. i'm so grateful that i've had a chance to get to know barbara bush's -- barbara bush, you're daughter's work for the global health corporation. i got to meet with some of barbara's some of the kids around the world who are going to be involved in helping to bring health care around the world and it's great because it means a younger generation is now devoted to it committed to this cause. the private sector has a lot to do. but the united states government also has a lot to do. this work has to continue. we face challenges of joblessness with an education system that's not quite working with policies that are not quite working we face deficits and debt and uncertainty about our economic future. but let us never forget that our own security is linked to the well-being of others. and let us neve

our interests and our values are linked inextricably and we cannot allow poverty and disease and tierneyat is the national security case for our compassion. indeed in the national security strategy of 2002, we talked about the three d's, defense, democracy and development. that they had to go together step by step to build a more secure and prosperous world because we're in despair leaders we are not fazed. now that practical case of course is undergirded by the moral case. the proposition that every life is precious, that every individual has potential and that any person left without the access to education come to health care and to freedom is a world we as americans cannot tolerate. now has the secretary of state, i dealt everyday with the world as it is coming and i knew that i had to work in the world as it is. but the great thing about america is we have always been able to imagine and work for the world as it ought to be, not just the world as it is. that shows in our history is history in which germans of a certain age remember food packets, hoover they called them from the amer

the shared and collective management of the world in order to put an end to the present disorder, tierney, antidiscrimination worldwide. -- tyranny, and discrimination. while acknowledging the truth, one should know it's not enough. spare no effort toward its realization. dear colleagues and friends, shared and collective management of the world is the right of all nations. we as their representatives have an obligation to defend their rights. although some hours continuously tried to postulate all international efforts aimed at promoting collective cooperation, we must however strengthen our belief in achieving the perceived goal of establishing a shared and establishing a shared and collective collabor cooperationo run the world. the united nations was created have many nations involved in decisions. this goal has not been filled because of the absence of justice in the current management structures and mechanisms of the united nations. the composition of the security council is unjust and inequitable. therefore, changes and structure of the united nations are considered as the basic de

people that i've seen and as we heard nasty speaking, had seen what tierney can do.ve seen how it can crush the human spirit and we also understand that that he can and shining knight that the united states must always be there. so, when people stand in front of you and talk to you about responsibility and talk to you about shared sacrifice and talk to you about how we can do better, they certainly are preaching to the choir. and i have to tell you, when i watch this and see the things you do and the focus you burying, this room is far more than a group of people advocating for veterans benefits. this is their advocating for american values. this is a group advocating for done right. this is a room advocating that we have no choice but to get this right. and congress, everything is so polarized in black-and-white. we could not vote today integrates wednesday. that would be the situation we're in. and you -- [applause] and what you understand, this polarization doesn't strike this nation. it doesn't make us more prosperous. it doesn't make us better and it doesn't mak
