states people united these. but this is not a bad day united states you got ten members of the security calling you can who are already. here we're going to continue this discussion after a short break and after that story we'll continue talking about libya in the greater middle east a thirty. story . download the official t.m. placation to i phone on i pod touch from the i.q. stops to. watch on t.v. life on the go. video on demand on teens my old costs an r.s.s. feeds now in the palm of your. question on the t.v. dot com. would be silly to brighten the food movement from phones to christians. who threw stones on t.v. dot com. and you can. still. welcome in your own stuff on people about to remind you we're discussing libya's future. and you can. start. ok eric i'd like to talk about the logic of humanitarian assistance and military intervention what about the ivory coast what about the sudan over the last decade or so what about bahrain to day why aren't why isn't there just a huge storm you know let's go prote

of course it would be about the united states let me do that let me. let me finish please this is about if we're speaking about interest then we must speak about european countries and interests not the united states the focus here on the united states i think is a bit misleading first of all france and the u.k. took the lead on libya not the u.s. the u.s. is still there is this moment why has it and in fact that involved obama once you handed all that as a quick just read the paper i just read the press so this is really not an american war that new possibilities mean the united states military you know you know like a well known internationally and shot we know of the french and the british where the leader is behind this operation not obama. now the obama administration so what i see here is madness friends with the rebels i think you have to stay out of order as if i can go to hell right now when you ask is a i want to go to i want to go to the i want to get this is a bowl in the ok all right eric finish your point this really goes to what i want t

as president obama wraps up his speech in the united states on the topic of libya rebels in libya trying to push westward toward the capital tripoli there are conflicting reports just how far they've advanced claims of controlling colonel gadhafi hometown of syria have been dismissed by reports on the ground which say the city is still held by government forces who've been putting up heavy resistance . russia's foreign minister says the international coalition is taking part in the civil war in libya beyond the limits of what's been allowed for u.n. resolution sergey lavrov has also expressed concerns about the protection of civilians which was the reason for the sole goal of the mission agreed at the u.n. security council. russian authorities have arrested two suspects in connection with the general terrorist bombing at moscow's airport in which thirty seven died seventeen militants were also killed in a special operation by three different russian federal agencies in the southern republican. at the fukushima nuclear plant in northern japan are frantically trying to dispose of radioacti

that is the message for the united states. the problem you have right now in education and the budget, china plays a role in tangentially but it isn't a core issue with respect to infrastructure. it's about what america is doing wrong. solve those and you will remain competitive. if we don't solve the problems it doesn't matter. china might do relatively bad things were wrong things but she is on the right track and the united states is on the wrong track. >> host: it's like the joke these two guys are out camping and a buyer comes over and one guy starts putting on his sneakers and the other says you can't outrun the air. he says i only have to outrun you. [laughter] >> guest: exactly. >> host: i am sure you have heard the theory that china will get old before it gets rich. in other words like we have the demographic problems in the u.s. with our social security system in medicare and medicaid, china especially i guess the one child policy, they are going to have this chilling and version of the baby boom generation retiring

if intervention is necessary should be the collective action of the united nations and this might not be a bad thing to the united nations was created in an effort to maintain pink's and to act as if there were a war and violence against the corporations so you know we're going to be intervention i think people who care about the future of this country should insist that the signal to the united nation not in the white house and not a rational or i mean for you all know how decisions are made or is that really matter well good part of the problem in the countries we're watching in the middle east now is that the institutions of democracy have been so guarded and attacked over the last decades by the despots in power that it will take generations to build those institutions but in the same way the u.s. relationship with these countries has been so heavily dependent on military and national security relations that it has distorted our relations and so we talk a good game in the united states of support for democracy but we've really been supporting stability and support of oil or in sup

of course it would be about the united states would be to. try to let me finish please this is about if we're speaking about interest then we must speak about european countries and their interests not the united states the focus here own do not in states i think is a good misleading person france and the u.k. took the lead on libya not the u.s. they used the u.s. and still this woman why has it and in fact. one so handed all that as a quick just read the paper i just read the press so this is really not an american lord of. the united states military you know you know like a we're going to try and shock we know of the french and the british where the leader is behind this operation not obama. not the one administration so what i fear is on the fringe liberals like you have to stay out of order as if i got it right now when you ask is of i want to go to i want to go to the i want us is a bull in the ok all right eric finish your point is silly or something and i want to see a sharp the us ok the us is a bull in a china shop you do not pass th

is china going to grow faster than the united states? i agree absolutely well because these factors are in favor of china and against the united states but it's natural because the united states is much more. >> host: adis convergent -- >> guest: of course. the question is can china converge to american levels of per capita income. we don't know. we don't know whether it is possible because we have resource constraints. already we have 85 million barrels of oil a day on the planet, and the fact the matter is all we are consuming today is largely leal discovered in the 1950's and 1960's. the constraints of the land, china has about seven to 10% a year to land and 1 billion people to feed. issues are not water. look at the numbers coming out of the middle east in terms of the nation not working as well as we would hope and concerns about water, issues around energy but also are not minerals. so, can china really come through? we don't know. and that's where again the united states and european countries have to get it right to focus on the

and gets a resolution and the united states under the u.s. constitution the war powers are very carefully divided between congress and the united states and following not only the war but our historical practice the president has sold the case for going to war and no big numbers think about it that's what we're talking about here he sold the case to the american public gotten the support of the public and they've gotten congress' support what has happened to this effect forty eight hours ago we have the national security adviser saying the united states had no imperative to actually get it out of the center there in the. civilian population we're not trying for this sort of time there's not a better message on this writer i think and i think that term is wrong and misleading to the people i think there's a lot left i'll say they're here to use that term i think there's a lot to be debated here but unfortunately that's all the time we have right now the only thing that i will say is that a lot of questions remain and i don't know if we can rea

from two units to one unit. and commissioners, in addition, the project is seeking advantage from the rear yard and exposure requirements and section 134 requires 34.8 inches and limits the height of the last 10 feet of the building to 30 feet in height. and at the ground level. and in addition to planning code section 140 requires that the public street or alleys 25 feet innid withst and the complying rear yard. and unit three does not face the co--complying rear yard and does not meet the minimum standards. the department's recommendation is not to take discretionary review and prove and approve replacement structure. the basis of the recommendation is as following project sponsor has complied with the planning commission direction to produce a more responsible design and reducing the number of stories to three and reducing the mass by the setback and eliminating the efficient internal circulation. it will result in a net gain of three dwelling units and these dwelling units are family sized dwelling units of

intervention i wish the united nations had more capacity to end violence and bloodshed in countries like libya but i think for the u.s. to intervene. would be dangerous because the countries in the region themselves it seems to me as we saw in egypt people in those countries need to take control of their own justinian and i have not followed libyan politics carefully but i think we're at a tipping point in that country with the forces arrayed against gadhafi will oust him in the next sure yeah i do think so you're seeing that so the u.s. would create a backlash in the region that could harm the possibility of future democracy in that very unstable and important region being ordered there was still more and more united states or agreement or in so many countries and worked. very were only worked out for. katrina makes the point american intervention. discredits the alternative to the tyranny of its throne because it appears the pride was overthrown with the backing of the united states forces in favor of domestic democracy or we've seen. any additions what we're witnessing in egypt and. i

the united states of america is different. and as president, i refuse to wait for the images of slaughter and mass graves before taking action. moreover, america has an important strategic interest in preventing qaddafi from overrunning those who oppose him. a massacre would have driven thousands of additional refuse refugees across libya's borders putting enormous strains on the peaceful yet fragile transition in egypt and tunisia. the democratic impulses that are dawning across the region would be eclipsed by the darkest form of dictatorship, as repressive leaders concluded that violence is the best strategy to cling to power. the risk of the united nations security council would have been shown to be little more than empty words crippling that institution's future corrode iblt to upload global peace and security. so while i will never minimize the cost involved in military action, i am convinced that a failure to act in libya would have carried a far greater price for america. now just as there are those who have argued aga

if there are 4000 units in the city, there are a lot of bedbug units. the other point is, the inspection of dph does not have a particular form, nothing standardized. these inspectors, i have seen them raise a mattress cover, look around -- there are no bad books. we will go back in and verify that there are bedbugs. the city is called in again and they say, okay, there is. in the meantime, the tenant has been living there for 30 days without help from the city. the other issue would be -- in 10 years of doing this, i have never had dph, for us, a pest control operator, any information on bedbugs, other than doing generalized city-wide meetings. no training that i know of. i have never gotten any support from dph or dbi. i am not saying that they are bad, but we need procedures in place so that pest control operators know what we need to do when there is an infestation. we cannot just go in and sprayed. tenants need to prep, sometimes they need help. we are trying to have a collaborative so that tenants, property owners, pest control operators, has a mi

possible justification for the united states or even the e.u. to get involved in libya there's just nothing in their charters or just there's nothing that would justify this it's an civil war in a different country in which the details are very murky which could america be a hop skip and a jump away from another war the white house is now saying it will wait for the when to lead the way in dealing with libya but with the habit of getting need deep into other nations affairs will america be able to resist the temptation this could be a rerun of iraq this is a rerun of humanitarian. and very very dangerous. for the west despite warning signs flashing some experts believe history is about to repeat itself iraq and afghanistan they warn suck the us much further into war then first anticipated the definition of insanity is doing the same thing twice and expecting different results well in the case of the united states it would be doing the same thing dozens and dozens of times in trying to get different results in the united states. hasn't won a war

on the 15th of march, there were explosions in unit two and unit 4. at this time, it is our assessment that is likely that unit's one, too, and three have experienced some kind of cord damage. today, -- core damage. today, all three units appear to be stable. containment integrity, for all three units is also believed to have been maintained. some great smoke is limited from unit 3. the source of that smoke is a non. -- on known -- unkonwn. on a sign of some promising has been yet -- has been able to bring some power on to the site. it is of the border of units 1 and 2. there is early indication that there may be cabling problems within the units, so i understand that they are now in the process of laying some temporary cables to some of the pumps and valves inside of units 1 and 2. over the next day or two, they will be doing the same thing for units three and four. there are two diesel generators that are currently running and supplying power to units 5 and 6. moving to the nrc response, shortly after 4:00 in the morning on friday, march 11, the ope

are no barriers for buying and selling goods produced in one nation in another country and in the united states that means that our markets are open to the rest of the world now the problem is when we use the term free trade this actually covers a situation that's not quite like that it means that our markets are open to the rest of the world but the reverse is not the case which is of course why we have such a trade deficit in other words there's no such thing as free trade in the real world or is on our side there is americas markets are pretty open to the rest of the world u.s. tariffs are about one and a half percent of the volume of foreign orthe so if you want to say our trade is ninety eight point five percent free i could live with that but the real problem is going the other direction ok you you mentioned the word tariffs. again definitions what is a tariff tariff is just a tax that's collected on imported goods and services so would it be appropriate to say that for example for a long time in the united states we said you know if there's dollars where the labor made it in a pai

the united states is going to be hard to get with the same time the united states is going around the world building countries i mean a lot of americans would like the american government to start rebuilding its own country you go ahead i mean nation building in the greater middle east outside intervention i mean we were in the last year i must i must speak as someone from inside the peace movement the united nations did not give me a mandate to change regimes in libya we as a revolution going on in north africa and the middle east. these revolutions are over through the teeters who have been supported by the west for the past forty years these revolutions must be made by the people of north africa if we're going to have a democratization process social justice and the billions of dollars used to provide employment for the people of north africa the united states cannot afford a military adventure in north africa as the did in iraq in fact opportunism of the pentagon is such that initially there were opposed to a no fly zone but now they're using this exercise as a public relations ex

the united states of america is different. as president, and refused to wait for the images of slaughter and mass graves take place before action. moreover, america has a strategic interest in preventing moammar gaddafi. a massacre would have driven additional refugees over the borders putting enormous strain on the peaceful yet fragile transition in egypt and tunisia the democratic and also is better doning across the region would be eclipsed by the darkest form of dictatorship. the oppressive leaders.. the rest of the dotted nations security just empty words of the united nations security council and future in cripplin its future credibility to uphold peace. i will never minimize the peace or cost of military action i am committed that a failure to act in libya would of. a farquhar price in america. far greater price in america- >> and also arguing against intervention in libya there are others that suggest that we broaden our military mission beyond the path of protectant just love the people and do whatever it takes to bri

united states. but that's not a direct correlation there at all going to the car secondly nato expansion has clearly been a big issue i still think is the biggest stumbling point between america and russia it's even bigger than people understand and i will tell you why the president may be out of service. in russia as in title for a sphere of privileged interests in the former soviet republic security or things in political life and we say you know we deny the states not when we say no because no country is allowed to have a sphere of influence and we are it's an evil what is the expansion of nato it's an expansion of the american sphere of influence a vast expansion into the territory we used to be a sphere of forms of soviet russia so moscow says from washington why do you get it and in our backyard and we get none this is the big geo political conflict over it and there will be reset now there is a solution but nobody is prepared to put it forward in the united states. till this problem is solved

may be changed to a smaller number of units. they may be fairly large units as was pointed out by mr. sanchez, they may have the same requirements but the commission has the discretion to allow a variance for fewer -- ok, the zoning administrator would be able to do that if they were, you know, downsized and there was enough room for people to maneuver in there. it might be acceptable to have someone fewer numbers of parking spaces. i have to see what the neighborhood says. and what the neighbors weigh in on it. but there are three bedrooms and two bedroom and nice family-sized homes which are good and we need those. hopefully we can get something worked out that means those requirements for july. i'm going to throw something -- i am going to throw something out that don't know if the f they will be happy about. i took a look at that open space and don't know why the lots were emerged and one four-building unit wasn't designed? >> the zoning it rh-2. you may be able to exceed that based upon the watt size but that would be throu

i have legalized dozens of dwelling units, illegal units, for people in san francisco. in the last 10 years, there has been a sea change within the bureaucracy, the building and planning departments, where the attitude has been very proactive in trying to help property owners bring things up to code and to save these old, illegal units, rather than force them to be abandoned. the attitude of the city has really changed a lot and people are more likely to get help from their building inspector rather than enforcement. >> what i had hoped we could do is look at this little hand out for further discussion. starting on page one, it is from a website, home remodeling magazine, there is a long list of things supposedly san francisco-based, adjusted for local conditions, and how much of the cost you can expect to recoup for the work you're doing in the building. if you're doing work because you want to live there and you want to appreciate the improvement, that is different. if you're doing work with a clear eye to how much you can get back, i am shocked to see under the colum

on the 15th of march there were explosions in unit 2. and in unit 4.rogen originating from the spent fuel pool. at this time it is our assessment that it is likely that the first three units have experienced some degree of cord damage. today all units appear to be in a stable condition with seawater injection being used to keep the reactor school. containment and integrity for all three units is believed to be currently maintained. gray smoke has omitted from unit 3, causing the evacuation of the site as it reported this morning. the source of that smoke is unknown, although there is no indication of an increase in activity. on the sign of promising news, we have been able to bring of site power onto the site from a nearby transmission line. it is now essentially at the border of units one and two. there are early indications that there may be electrical problems within the units. so, i understand that they are now in the process of laying temporary tables to the pumps and valves inside of units one and two. over the next day or two that will be doing

turkey as a model is something that you hear a lot actually in the united states. you don't hear it so much in egypt because i don't think they want to have any single model. this is going to be an egyptian project, so they want to take a little bit from chile and a little bit from turkey and a little bit from somewhere else and so forth and so on and construct something that is egyptian. it may borrow disproportionately from one country or another, but people are starting to say about what happened in indonesia? what happened in other places? so the muslim majority clearly would matter and that is why people are asking about indonesia. but at this point, there is no sense of boquet this country shows us our future and i think that is quite deliberate on the part of those people who are trying to sort out what kinds of policy and procedures they want to advocate. the question of the youth and mrs. clinton. i actually didn't put much import in that. i think it is clear that mrs. clinton's visit was not particularly well organized and so figuring out beforehand who w

i would like to extend a special welcome to two former united states senators, and to former united states ambassadors who have joined us for today's lecture. one of the two senators is senator howard h. baker jr. [laughter] [applause] [applause] who hails from a great state of tennessee. served in the senate till 1985, having served both as a minority leader and a majority leader. senator baker is the person his long and distinguished public service, at the university of tennessee, seeks to honor through the work of the center that proudly bears his name. senator baker, it is a privilege and a pleasure to have you with us. the other senator is a senator nancy kassebaum-baker. [applause] i will note from the great state of kansas, who served with distinction in the united states senate from 1978-1997 and who i now claim to be at least well grounded in tennessee, even though routed in kansas. we are very glad to have you here as well. one of the two u.s. ambassadors with us today is cran montgomery. [applause] who served after numerous years of direct service to senator baker as legislative

united states planes problem but that's not a fur explanation or ignored. secondly nato expansion is clearly a big issue still think it's the biggest stumbling point between america and russia it's even bigger than people understand and i will tell you why the president made beautiful said russia isn't from a sphere of privileged and from the former soviet security if you want to call it we say we have united states and. we say no because no countries are allowed to have a sphere of influence and it's an evil what is the expansion of nato it's an expansion of the american sphere of influence rashed expansion into the character henri used to be the sphere of influence of soviet russia so moscow seems to washington why do you get the spirit and in our backyard and we get on this is the geo political conflict over a time when there will be. no war now there is a solution but nobody is prepared for war in the united states. till this problem is solved and they're going to be in a partnership an organization that you know steve speaks is a scholar of russian the

well that's what i've always suspected i think the united states. returns on promise to control libya libyan oil remember that throughout the middle east there are enormous up evils and generally these up peoples are calling for democracy freedom and crucially for independence and democracy and independence goes contrary to us interests in the region getting controlling the region getting to cheap oil supporting israel and so on are all proud it is and i don't think protecting civilians is a priority at all as the facade that's the excuse that's being used to to wage yet another war remember what happened in iraq you think. oh hey sanny do you think that could duffy should remain and that he should be guarding his own people and committing atrocities on your own people as i would you know i don't think i should let me show it to be a serious issue i mean i had sammy going to let me finish you but you you interrupted me i'd interrupt you the path is a ruthless dictator but it's for the libyan people to overthrow gadhafi just like it's for the people

the united states. the united states of america this year will be the top nation in the world with the highest corporate tax rate of any nation. you want to know why jobs are getting out sourced from america? look no further than this figure. 35%. $3.8 million is the next number. that is the irs estimate of the number of words in the tax cut. how many of you are busy filling out your tax forms right now? this is something i know something about. when we call the irs, they could not give us an actual number of words in the tax code. you are liable under penalty of perjury and jail time to get this right. $3.80 trillion. happy reading. april 15 is coming. let's look at $1.20 trillion. that is the estimate that we spend in this country for compliance with regulations. i consider the regulatory burden in this country one more tax on the job creators of this nation. another figure -- the number one. in this administration has issued exactly one permit to drill in this country for energy since barack obama ca

new units. we are pegging affordability to these units at 0% to 30% of ami and we will have a separate agreement that lays out how and when they get the parcels to be developed. the and exclusionary unit, we made a -- see inclusionary unit, in exchange for more pads to build 100% affordable projects, you will note that rate is lower than it is a city-wide at 5%. these are units that would be built within the market rate products and anywhere between 80% and 120 for home ownership, for sale units. on transition housing, we had a lot of discussion with the residents. at first -- supervisor wiener: i know you spoke about the levels of affordability and in terms of low-income verses middle-income housing, about 90% -- 80% was for low-income? >> that depends on how you define low-income. if you are defining it at 50% or 60% below, the affordable housing would be for low-income. i will note that the units -- we have a flexible funding source which could be $90 million. if we get the pads, it would be

each child would be taught bad the united states is -- would be taught that the united states is the greatest nation in the world based on free enterprise capitalism. [applause] i remember i was green and i leave -- and naive. i introduced the bill and you just drop it in the clerk's box and it would work its way through the system. the next morning, ient inside the house chaers and every democrat had their lights on. they wanted to talk, everyone of them. i am sitting there this innocent baby. they would get up and said, speaking introduce this bill. the audacity to say that the united states is the u.n. challenged greatest nation in the world. he wants to get rid of multiculturalism. th took turns beating on me. i am sitting there thinking, what is this hyperventilation about? aren't these things true? i will go further. i believe god guided our founding fathers. he moved them around like men on a chess board to ship this nation. we need to defend and uphold what they did. it is not just to protect what we had. it is not just to declared that the shining cy on the hill has been ach

one is the united states, but what did they want from the united states. e changed landscape, what did they expect. >> if there in the emergence of governance in the arab world that actively reflects the arab street, you will see a different level of engagement. in this case they want the government to interact with israel differently. they want to see the interest of israel take priority. they won the sale of natural gas to not be sold at a subsidized price. they want to see the priority on the siege of ghaza be lifted. there is a sense of embassy -- empathy. they want the foreign policy to reflect that. they want to see the priority take precedence over the national security of israel and the united states. when israel wanted israel to engage in it mediation efforts, you would see as bike. the underground barriers, it was common knowledge it was really at the behest of international pressure to do more to stop the smuggling, despite the fact the ordinary egyptians wanted the siege lifted. those are just some of the quick examples of the top of my head. w

haitians in the united states. non-governmental groups have to play an important role because the haitian government is extremely week and doesn't have a great, a great deal of capacity. but in order to get to a point where it has greater capacity to deal and resolve its problems, i think non-governmental groups can play an important role. so you have to figure out a formula, ah, for all of these actors, ah, to work together. >> ray, should the u.s. government step aside and let others take the main responsibility in haiti? >> i think we have to play an active role. clearly, american tax-payer dollars are at work or involved in haiti. we have to have accountability. we have to have transparency. we have to combat corruption. ah, we cannot be, clearly, indifferent to what we're going to do. we've pledged to, ah, support with several, and i think the current supplemental is about two billion dollars. ah, that's almost the rest, that's almost equal to what we're spending in the rest of latin america. how we're going t

the current unrest the united states isn't about the merits of democracy democracy is alive alive and well it's really about sort of spending and fiscal responsibility as relates to government this may be the issue of the decade in the united states to be perfectly honest with you democrats love to blame folks like george w. bush but in reality this situation dates back to over a generation when the johnson and frankly both coreys are culpable we're running a federal deficit of one point five trillion and national debt nearing fifteen trillion everybody knows we need to cut back but nobody wants to step forward to make the difficult cuts with that said if america wants to remain the world's economic leader it must draw a line in the sand right now and that's what we're saying with scott walker in wisconsin and case i can ohio ok steve i'm going to you a lot of people say a skeptic would say is that the banks can be bailed out wall street can be bailed out. big pharma big big everything can be you know protected but when it comes to the middle class who protects them. and that's exactl

states people united these. but this is not a bad day united states you got ten members of the security calling you can who are already. here we're going to continue this discussion after a short break and after that story we'll continue talking about libya in the greater middle east a thirty. eight. story . it's the secret incursion into the country. it's the invasion by means of. tradition the language is really. the best be copied could be. culture. the thing is that the had the dems are still unaware of what's going on in the land still asking why do you. think i don't know anything about alaska the great. on our cheap. we'll. bring you the latest in science and technology from around russia. we've got the future covered. you. still. want to. welcome mr brosnahan people about to remind you we're discussing libya's future. and. ok eric i'd like to talk about the logic of humanitarian assistance and military intervention what about the ivory coast what about the sudan over the last decade or so what about bahr

as a more serious accident for the one nine hundred seventy nine three mile island disaster in the united states so how will the fukushima disaster if that's the nuclear industry here in america and could age upin style crisis happened here at home and earlier i spoke with king who is the founder and creative director of dancing in productions about the crisis here's part of our conversation. the situation is very dynamic right now there were still waiting to find out is there going to be a nuclear core meltdown if so will there be multiple or a meltdown if so how widespread will the radiation be the problem with radiation of course that it's invisible you can't so it could be around for generations and the effects are long lasting and in india then not generally short term an obvious in many things so the nuclear industry as a whole if there are no immediate and obvious casualties from what's happening in japan it really depends you know how to go and now it's a situation did you need to escalate and become more apparent that there are dangers than expect estimates of the industry as a w

if the united states had been willing to allow iran to have pipelines back in the 1990's, if the united states have been willing to allow conoco to take that deal with iran back in the 1990's, wrong we would have the hostile relationship we have with iran today. should we continue this pattern because of the nuclear issue? if we want to get -- to end the russian no monopoly, if we want afghanistan to be prosperous, i think we do have to end this policy of blocking iran from having pipelines trying to discourage transit trade, you know, the late richard holbrook was so proud of the fact that he had gotten a agreement from pakistan to india. well, there should be routes that go there. it's in everybody's interest. i would refer people to fred star at johns hopkins sites. he's written extensively about the silk road. everybody can belt. turkey can benefit. all of the countries along the old silk road. >> this is one area where trance force is not unanimous. i have a great expect for barbara and the work she's done here. i think this this would be absolutely the wrong time to send that sign

how dangerous is a post-saleh yemen to the united states? >> i think -- i think it is a real concern. because the most active and, at this point, perhaps, the most aggressive branch of al qaeda -- al qaeda on the arabian peninsula operates out of yemen. we have had a lot of cooperation from president saleh and the security services. if that government collapses and is replaced by one more weak, we'll face additional challenges out of yemen. no question. it's a real problem. >> secretary clinton, on pakistan, they've been trying to block counterterrorism efforts in some regions. they continue to work with terrorists that attack india. it held a u.s. diplomat in prison for several weeks. as i don't need to tell you. has the relationship gotten worse? the u.s. and pakistan? >> it's a challenging relationship. there have been some problems. we were very appreciative of getting our diplomat out of pakistan. and that took cooperation by the government of pakistan. we have cooperated very closely together in going after terrorists who pose a threat

on the 15th of march, there were explosions in unit two and unit 4. at this time, it is our assessment that is likely that unit's one, too, and three have experienced some kind of cord damage. today, -- core damage. today, all three units appear to be stable. containment integrity, for all three units is also believed to have been maintained. some great smoke is limited from unit 3. the source of that smoke is a non. -- on known -- unkonwn. on a sign of some promising has been yet -- has been able to bring some power on to the site. it is of the border of units 1 and 2. there is early indication that there may be cabling problems within the units, so i understand that they are now in the process of laying some temporary cables to some of the pumps and valves inside of units 1 and 2. over the next day or two, they will be doing the same thing for units three and four. there are two diesel generators that are currently running and supplying power to units 5 and 6. moving to the nrc response, shortly after 4:00 in the morning on friday, march 11, the ope

they are the most dangerous not because they are more powerful than the united united states, r becauseher supported by all muslims. they are the most dangerous gulf origin threat to america because the u.s. bipartisan governing elite has uniformly refused to accept reality. from the first bush to clinton to george w. bush to barack obama, americans have been told that they are at war because al-qaeda and its allies are motivated by hatred for our liberty, way of life and democratic institutions. this is a palpable, lethal lie. we are being attacked because of our at least half century record of intervention in the muslim world. it is in the cumulative impact of 50 years of intervengsism that we find the principle organizational glue that provides a modicum of unity to the movement's always-fragile cohesion. the islamist motivation is to be found in their perception of u.s. foreign policy as an attack on the islamic religion and its followers. this is a view that is held not only by those carrying ak-47s, but with extensive by reliable pollsters, by nearly 80% of all muslims worldwide -

mexico and united states. fifty thousand people slaughtered innocent people that are simply trying to cross the border for a better life. it has to be a slaughter president obama said the words of the world community the words will be fall if you don't take action and we need to do things for humanity human rights how about right here how about what to do people dying every day i look at the fact that these people are being slaughtered. president obama needs to step up and practice with the beaches that only the middle east where there's oil for right here at the front door and then we get all of that from here because you know in this situation we have an evil dictator moammar gadhafi willing to you know he said he's willing to go in and slaughter his own people i know you're not saying that mexico's leader if only because their own is an evil dictator i think you're talking more about what's going on with the drug cartels is that a fair assessment. that's right and i'm not saying this is president calderón i

it's more around here yes by the united states and libya. moammar gadhafi is. a bad man because gadhafi the very bad man and you agree with the president well i am the president we're there to. make sure they're cut off is taken out of power trying to get rid of gadhafi. trouble trying to rid of gadhafi. down the papers like move right now libya is right there here and why do you think we're in libya. well there's they're in civil war right you know so but i'm not sure exactly why we're there it's really sad the congress gave themselves a weekend off so that the president could go ahead and declare this war you know what do you know funny thing i have no idea. i really couldn't answer because i have not read the paper and vacation you know i haven't watched the news here today . we didn't know what do they. now. let me out let me live yeah you'll probably. hear us all the u.k. i particularly on the afghanistan right now because the reaction you're going to be whatever the commander in chief tells them to next go. the lords and you're from the congo right would

now there is a solution but nobody is prepared to move forward in the united states. till this problem is solved. there are going to be no partnership in your research but you know steve speaks as a scholar of russian the soviet union but he doesn't speak about the enormous opposition even this modest reset has confronted in the united states you had again a republican party which for decades has supported bipartisan arms control treaties and how many republicans did you finally get seven i think at the most so the resort is modest i agree with steve's analysis of the ongoing problems but the fact that it's. under fire in america is a failure of both the c.e.o. of the solitary city are sure this is one area where presidents both had some enormous power and. gorbachev and reagan world posed by their own parties but they overcame and made better things being attacked in moscow from the reset obama there but this is where leadership is required but don't forget these guys inherited this problem of nato expansion obama didn't expand nato he did not hear in this problem it

the united states is helping to lead an international effort to defer the search for the file put in place unprecedented saying hold the gadhafi government accountable and support the aspirations of libyan people we are also responding quickly to the urgent humanitarian needs that are developing. but there's also another side this view of real politic that principle should be thank you for power and this is not a democrat versus republican issue even within his own administration there seems to be a difference in opinion here secretary of state hillary clinton earlier this week let's put aside the moral cumana ceria and do good side of what we believe in and let's just talk it out straight reale policy we are in a trap petition with china take papa would it be any huge energy find you go to one of senator lugar's very strong points exxon mobil is producing it china is in there every day in every way and joining me now to talk more about this is ohio congressman dennis kucinich and congressman let's talk about this you have hillary clinton the secretary of state on one hand thing you

in the united states. on radio cable t.v. and so on who. use this issue to stir up. or to exploit resentment now in one of your articles about china there's a place where you see nationalism is often fed by a sense of impotence and i wanted to ask you about this do you think that is a saying that could also be relevant to modern day united states yes i think it's comes back to that same issue that people who feel they're not represented they don't have a voice to not listen to they don't have a grip on public affairs. very vulnerable. leaders who promise. as it were if you feel you're a lonely individual who has no influence on anybody you know because about it feels good to be in a crowd shouting usa usa or. in the case of america could be in china or it could be anywhere in china what i meant by. chinese nationalism being a form often the expression form of impotence i didn't mean that in the sense of the chinese government but where people have no political voice china's after all not a democracy. there nationalism can play the same role that religion plays in oth

is there a basis to that doing to consider wrecked threat to the united states. certainly not a military. correct they're competing and they have a comparative advantage of having a huge population that can make things much more cheaply than people kind of the united states i don't think it's a huge threat it's perceived as such again because the rise of china as a serious power. within the economic clubs is has been recent and has been very fast people are fearful for many different reasons and it's it helps them to be able to focus it on something in the united states it's usually an external enemy well why is that so often external and it could be part of a lack of knowledge what is what well i think it's something that's probably the history of the u.s. it's sort of refuge from the dangerous outside world one way to make people feel that they have something in common with each other that creates a kind of cohesiveness in society is of course this idea that here we are in the united states and we will have to defend ourselves against this dangerous world out t
