or european countries contribute far more than the united states so if you're just going to do it in terms of a force for good america's recall on that level is much worse than that of the european states but even leaving aside the question of the humanitarian assistance i mean you've got to consider well what about the geo political agenda and that is where many people in the world do have very serious problems and it's precisely the elites. you have kind of being disparaging about the elites but it is the elites who are in many countries that actually follow us dictates against the wishes of these people i mean when we think of all of the recent wars were we thinking of the invasion of iraq where with away thinking of the bombing of libya when we thinking now of the upcoming arming of the syrian rebels and then going back further to the bombing of yugoslavia was there was widespread opposition among the people not among the elites among the people to their countries getting involved in these american i was and it was the elites that actually where you are they goes we have a nato it

the end of the cold war the united states was a strong ad. god well we got to get rid of all of those and not just socialism but the social democracies in europe we've got to get rid of that euro sclerosis all of the you know welfare lack of job mobility you know we got to be like the united states you know this is that where we have this really dynamic capitalism well we've seen this dynamic as we've seen it you know we had the collapse of the internet bubble in the early two thousand and then we have this of the almighty collapse of the housing bubble we're building up in all the bubble now so you know this this you know known wealth a kind of you know primitive pyramid scheme tabel ism is the last thing anyone in the world would want to emulate ok before we could sort of the programs are going to if i could go you're going to talk about the perceptions of the united states in the middle east but go ahead bruce and i just want to jump in there look i mean george is right if you look at the public opinion surveys we've done in thirty nine co

that's you know china right now it's a couple little cup of course they won't fight the united states fight for that mud to budge eventually they will become a big tiger. it will be too small for the unit pacific ocean will be too small for them ok lynn you pointed out i mean the united states is a militant want to add something lynn go ahead jump in. yes yeah i just want to say what we exacerbate this problem also is the chinese growth growth in china economic growth the last few years the insane growth that they were enjoying it is unsustainable. globally countries everywhere in trouble in that it and unemployment is up living standards down so the expectation for the future will be disappointed so many countries will be disappointed. about their future prospects so that will intensify this scramble for the remaining resources so just to survive and just to placate they populations we will see more conflicts and the not just between china and usa ok dan it sounds like at the preamble to the first world war and the second world war. well as are to the first world war in the great dep

will the united states and china have a kind of transition such as we saw in the past when great britain ceased to be the dominant power and there was an allegiance of power from great britain to the united states will we see something like what happened when holland was the great power but how holland shared power within lenin later england will the united states will the coincidence of economic interests lead to a kind of us chinese alliance that would then dominate the world and if so would the world's people be able to challenge such great powers and how would they do that ok and challenge the likely do you think that is the. stream li unlikely that would be a scenario. i think first of all i think america still the dominant military power you know world even china i think become superpower i agree that the clash between the resin new power and the existing power will be intensified history have told us that. there's always happen more likely it's going to happen again and the most recent example is the u.s. and civic duty in war and the world and up in the more dangerous pos

go ahead well i would agree that in large part the the united states because. sort of bogged down in the middle east because the largely because of the impact of the israeli lobby has not been able to counter china in the way it would like but i'd like to i'd like to go to henry kissinger here for a second. henry kissinger in his account china which is not a bad book actually talks about a fundamentally different culture in china from that of the west and i think we should listen to him on this point because for example if you look at the fifteenth century when china was the most powerful nation in the world it sent out ships bigger than anything columbus would dream of one hundred years later traded. it it traded it explored but unlike the west it did not conquer it did not in slaves that is the western tradition and if you think we've escaped that history. and i mean the way things look british empire is really i mean but the united states and hired i mean this was a neil going it's plain as the nose on your face. you know quite out of the little way the seco

united states. what's difficult here is that you have the military moving forward and clearing, you know, these protesters out. so, this is the difficulty that the administration faces right now. and i think, you know, they're going to have to pursue a more definite strategy here. it's not just the united states. because you have israel as a key player here as well. the israeli military working very well in the egyptian military on issues that have to do with, you know, their border. and a very fragile peace treaty that exists between those two countries. there's a lot of different factors here, including the future of the muslim brotherhood. mohammed morsi is less the issue than the muslim brotherhood. they say don't become part of a democrat democraticic /* party. the message was, hey, we have a democratically elected president and look what happened. that's what the united states has to manage, israel has to manage and other countries in the region. >> was the administration taken completely by s

am peter lavelle what if china ruled what if china were a military superpower on par with the united states what kind of world would we live in what china put in to check washington's appetite for unilateral military action and manipulation of the global economy or would we witness another cold war where both beijing and washington maintain to chile the relatively peaceful world. to cross not china's rise i'm joined by han in washington he's a visiting fellow at the hudson institute we also have dan low balts in cincinnati he's a coeditor of new politics a journal of socialist thought and in philadelphia we crossed him and then he is a political commentator and writer for a counterpunch all right gentlemen crosstalk rules in effect i mean you can jump in anytime you want and i very much encourage it lynn if i go to you first in philadelphia what will the world look like today if china were the same military strength had the same military strength of the united states you know on par. it won't be a cold war i think it will be a series of wars by proxies because both countries need. quite a b

would would be supportive of them and the united states is actually backed off so the united states policy in the middle east toward minorities even toward democracy is our pocket full. and and indeed if we support countries such as saudi arabia that is having some of their people go into these pallets and into these palestinian and these syrian camps right now as we speak and and paying money for these refugee girls from nine to fourteen and then taken them off to saudi arabia there's somethin sick about their united states as even criticize them from work and i really have a very serious problem with that you know we all should you know before there was the promotion of secular regimes ok during the cold war for example there were a lot of conflicts with the end of secular regimes we have religious machines and religious intolerance. well yes i think. it's not fair to continue talking only about the usa one can look at europe and indeed even russia the europeans the americans and russia have a problem with the something called the islamic movement or islamist or terrorism whatever

it's the united states. and that to me will have grave consequences that we need to look at and how we are looked at and what happens afterwards. then what happens? is it our responsibility? do we get dragged into it? i think we need to just continue to slow down. the president, it's the important thing for him to do. >> you heard mick say the way this will go down the president will call secretary of state john kerry. let's listen to what he had to say. >> it is directly related to our credibility and whether countries still believe the united states, when it says something. they are watch to go see if syria can get away with it. because then maybe they, too, can put the world at greater risk. >> speak to that and what he just said. we have said this cannot be tolerated, so you have to put your power, behind your words, behind rhetoric. >> the world needs to do it. we need to do it collectively together. it is an international standard. it's not a standard that the united states set. it's something that we

not just the united states. and to is that? not just the united states but the allied too. ideas is to separate the united states from its allies, isolate the united states and make it more difficult to bring our power to bear. tomahawk or dual capable aircraft, which is better for that problem? which is better for signaling the resolve of an allied or the shared commitment of allies as opposed to just the united states alone? and our conclusion was dual capable aircraft which can be operated from the territory of an allied or near the territory of an ally, visible signals of deployment and not simply the plymouth of strategic systems from the american homeland. this is a way to signal resolve. we took the step following lots of dialogue with many different allies, to retire the tomahawk nuclear cruise missile and to ensure that the fleet of dual capable aircraft and associated nuclear bombs that go with them are capable of being globally tdeployed in time of crisis. >> the status was rather murky and the terms of the mutual defense pact with japan. seems like we could have

the united states actually does matter. and i don't agree with 100% of the things that the previous speakers said, and they're not going to agree with 100% of the things i said. but the great thing that unites us is that we have the first amendment that allows us to have that disagreement and to have an active discussion so that our nation can move forward. now, we don't always move forward. sometimes we move backwards as we've discussed. but each time we do that, we find a way to move forward. this can't happen in a country we're going to talk about now, china, because despite anything else they might be doing, they are not allowing freedom of speech. so i've got a display over on the side. who here knows what 61398 is? okay. you've probably seen the news story about the chinese government hacking american corporations, right? anybody? so 61398 is a signal core unit in the people's liberation army in china. this is a division of the chinese military run and financed by the chinese government. a company put out a really bri

>> no, we did not, but i think if the president of the united states and the secretary of state say that they have them, that's good enough for me. >> was it good enough for you when president bush and the then secretary of state colin powell said they had the evidence there were wmd in iraq? that good enough for you then? >> i think to compare what is going on now with iraq is comparing apples with oranges. there are children and civilians who have been brutally murdered by their own government using chemical weapons. president obama in my opinion rightfully said that if chemical weapons were used, that would be crossing a red line. i think the syrians crossed the red line, and i think it's time for the united states to say that we will not tolerate these war crimes where by people are murdering their own people, and i think the president is absolute lie right to draw a line in the sand. the world is watching. i have a lot of respect for mr. blix. he knows he can't come to the security counsel. the russians blocked every move -- >> let me interrupt for a second. it not just hans blix bu

hello and welcome to cross talk where all things are considered i'm peter logo is the united states of america a force for good in the world with the largest economy and an unmatched military critics claim washington's defined geopolitical interests always trump its loudly proclaimed values friends of washington are given a free pass and it means real or imagined to be destroyed and replaced. to process whether the united states is a force for good i'm joined by george samuel in new york he is a fellow at the global policy institute of london metropolitan university and in washington we cross to bruce stokes he is the director of global economic attitudes at the pew research center all right gentlemen it's just the three of us crosstalk rules in effect i mean you can jump in anytime you want and i really encourage it george the broad question is the united states a force for good in the world today. no i don't really think so. if we think of the post cold warrior of the began since one thousand eight hundred nine which would also call the uni polar air of american global headroom an a

arguments for that ok but how do you know that's what it's going to have it is the question of the united states. well i would stress that in fact it is pretty much black and white in the sense that the united it's clear as day the united states and western countries were the countries that actually benefited from the iranian nuclear program before the revolution billions of dollars were paid by the iranians the infrastructure was there many thousands of iranians were trained to be a part of their nuclear program and the suddenly the united states and western powers insist that the iranians from these experts and scientists much must drive taxis are something the iranians insist on having nuclear energy just like iran insists on having all sorts of high tech technology iran debate is developing wind farms it's about being solar energy and it has the right to develop nuclear technology iran has from the very start even what now that it is producing enrich uranium at twenty percent for the test run. reactor in order to produce medical isotopes it didn't want to produce nuclear energy or enrich ura

between the united states and the european union is that the united states isn't trying to pass our domestic laws for us it isn't subverting democracy it isn't intervening in essentially home affairs for us the european union sees virtually all aspects of policy as within its sphere of of jurisdiction why you know what's the problem with that well there's there's two arguments one is economic europe is the only continent in the world now that is in economic decline the other one is a political one we want to be able to hire and fire the people. and here in the european parliament we've lost that right ok i let us focus on their economic side for a few moments it is true that the significance for britain as a trading partner has been on the decline but obviously it's not maggie legible and the european union still remains the favorite destination for many of the u.k. aspirants and in particular for those products that are produced by small and medium sized businesses who cannot afford to despise their representatives still china india and other countries now since you are a very strong suppor

moves its naval forces in the mediterranean closer to the syrian coast and we are hearing from the united states that it would be prepared to strike if indeed called upon to do so this comes as syrian state television is reporting that syrian soldiers entered a number of tunnels in a damascus suburb that had been used by rebel fighters and made they found evidence of chemical waste and they were empty shells that had mocked on them made in saudi arabia and saudi arabia of course being a very vocal critic of the syrian president bashar assad there seems to be a lot of reports and evidence that the rebels in fact are responsible for carrying out these chemical attacks but let me make the point that all the footage we're witnessing and all the reports that are circulating online are as of yet unverified the rebels for themselves are vowing revenge we have heard from and oh mr leader in an audio recording that's also been posted online saying that in revenge they will fire thousand rockets at the assad regime meanwhile the russian foreign ministry says it's worried about the pressure being put on th

here of course as he's never done any harm to the united states but we all know what that means nonetheless there's nothing in this granted temporary asylum that prevents him getting a job on the op the contrary i mean he's entitled to do it there's nothing that says he can't wander around moscow and i am fairly sure if i'm absolutely sure that he will want to tell his story at some point to the media and there's nothing there's no reason why he can't no legal reason why he can't well it's been great to talk to alexander thank you very much for your time fascinating to get your phone with you very much on the cure is live in london. well the white house says it's extremely disappointed with russia's decision to grant edward snowden temporary asylum now that follows weeks of washington pursuing the n.s.a. whistleblower with hopes of his extradition let's get the details now from marty's going to chicken so god just bring us up to date with exactly what washington is saying as they actually have officially made a statement or these are just the noises of coming out of capitol hill

you can look you can make the example the united states how many blacks do we have in the united. states are how many how many arabs do we have in the in the united states congress right now one matthew before we enter the program what's the future create what's the future of christians in the arab world. twenty seconds i mean if the general trend if the trend continues we're going to see less and less of them unless you know that things change quickly i'm not optimistic i'm sorry to say ok looks like we're into age of intolerance in this region many thanks today to my guests in washington and in london and thanks to our viewers for watching us here darkie see you next time and remember proper talk rules. i grew up near me airbase. i dreamed of becoming a pilot ever since i was a child. when you approach the grease him and. i love this claim but. most of these voices the couple little all for violence were thefts. when we drove the window climbed in and tried studded. we pushed it a little way and here we were drunk. and soon who you're an alcoholic nearly all of them are homeless

and united states is a very peculiar country when it comes to. labor practices and labor policies because for once this country has never had a very strong labor party of the history of trade unions. while you can argue that they have been historically rather weak and also as i think you alluded to in the united states there's still no consensus on the role of government in providing social security and social justice and yet some of the critics of your organization have said in the past that the ilo may be too strongly influenced by the united states and the so-called market fundamentalism that the united states often represents how would you respond to such purposes no i don't think that's a reasonable view of the way our organization works or indeed how the united states works in the united states is a major player in the international labor organization and upholds really our fundamental values very strongly no the united states has its own challenges it has its own challenges in terms of social security as we've talked about it's got its cha

a better life in the united states. it was u.s. business, needing to replace eastern europeans. first japanese japanese workers in an eastern european workers in the early 20th century so they went to mexico and asked for mexican workers and mexican worker started coming to the united states to work particularly in railroad construction. all these historical ties have a lot to do with it as well. another important myth is the fact that there has never been any hostility to immigration in the united states. we have always been a country of immigrants and we have always welcome -- welcomed immigrants. we have always valued people coming from oversees to contribute to the society and again that is not true. there has always been hostility towards immigration and of course it hasn't always taken place exactly in the same way. it's not been as intense but historically it has always been the case that there was significant hostility to immigrants. if you look at what happened in the gold rush, the chinese were the object of v

who was exported or deported from the united states. more interested me i think it's the question of how snowden's security can be guaranteed while he's in russia could prove costly to the russian state who could prove too costly to the russian state and it may not be a given that his conditions the conditions under which is on them will remain unchanged i think it is that for the year that's. probably a point to stating russia for passing. well it's absolutely i mean it's the best it's the best game and it's the only option he's got on the one hand and on the other yeah i think you know the protection of the kremlin is considerable safety net show us on the ground and yeah i will try to prove that it is safe for edward snowden to stay here in russia because the whole world is watching absolutely absolutely and it's probably a potential two to inadvertently. put a bill on the faces of the white house administration the state department in the pentagon who have been. falling over themselves falling backwards over themselves since snowden'

we heard from the spokesman where ban ki-moon, another strong appeal to the united states directly to president obama, do not use military force unless there's authorization from the united nations security counsel and as you know, there is none. >> absolutely, when pressed on ban ki-moon's position on whether or not to strike without a resolution, the spokesman said secretary general considers the u.n. charter to be paramount and that should be upheld. let me break down what we did hear in that briefing because potentially, given this address we're about to hear, is unlikely to announce imminent military action. the process happening here at the united nations perhaps with the inspectors becomes more relevant as the timing of a u.s. stri strike. martin did say the inspectors had gathered adequate material. they are heading to the hague in the netherlands where testing will most likely begin tomorrow. he also refers to how a number of of interviews needed to be translated from witnesses and survivors and that would be put into a report handed to the secretary general. he kept reassuri

at the end of the day, the question i know all of us in the united states debate is if the united states has any option. the credibility of the united states and the u.s. president is on the line. to me, the real question is, how do you stop the bloodshed in syria? how do you stop the carnage in syria? it's not just about the credibility of the u.s. president. this is the not about international politics. it's a blood bath. i think america's strike would exacerbate an already complex situation. >> of course an important question, but i would argue the most important question on a lot of people's minds still is, what is the u.s.'s national security interest in syria? nbc news conducted a recent poll on this and asked this question. is taking military action against the syrian government in our national interest or not? 21% said yes, 33% said no, it's not in our national interest, and 45% don't know enough to have an opinion. i was very surprised that it was 45%. you also have members of congress that are saying, you know, we still have questions that need to be answered. we still need to

if you live in below the poverty line in the united states you have two cars you have a cell phone you have a microwave and you've got a flat screen television so if you want to talk about people who are living below consumption in a wage light here in the united states take a look at take a look at look at countries all across the world people who are living below the minimum wage live the those lives there they don't have the same things that b. they have in america it's because of the free market system and capitalism that people who are poor in the united states are able to afford the necessities that they need to live a better life we're better off than they were we were one hundred years ago who in the world want to go back a hundred years ago when people were when they had didn't have cars were they were not going out how this is because there's a guy who can a little better off than we. as you can afford all these things ok eric go ahead. who would want to know the one hundred seventy the same day but we're not better off than another nine hundred seventy real wages have de

the president united states himself the defendants an intelligence arms had to infiltrate to resist. but still a jones freedom fighters terrorists. who is. a real terrorist please stand up on our cheek. welcome back to cross talk where all things are considered i'm peter lavelle mind you were discussing survival in america. ok austin if we can change gears a little bit here. and when i was in high school and in college i worked in fast food places like wendy's and i knew it was a short stay ok i worked hard it was low wages but i knew there was a way out but now we have a situation in the united states where people get there because they don't want to be there they've lost a job because of the recession and their traps there this is a significantly different kind of environment when it comes to employment right absolutely well the thing is is that not only are you being paid a wage while you're working at wendy's you're being paid in work experience and work experience is something that's hard to quantify but it becomes something that's valuable that you can add to a resume to take

kidnap the united states economy? >> when they talk to their constituents, their constituents say one thing. do something about obama care. so these guys have to go do something. >> but you're saying it doesn't make sense what they're doing, but they're doing it because of heat at home. >> they're hearing from their constituents. a very unpopular law. 52% of americans want this law repealed or delayed. >> do you think the people that are at town hall meets are typical republican voters? >> i think they're typical primary voters. >> primary voters. >> they come in the primary. and members of congress are worried about that. and they want to be responsive. >> there is your argument. they're taking orders. i was only obeying orders. i'm going to bring down, create a jeopardy for the united states credibility in the world. we're not going to pay our debts anymore, because some people are raising noises in town meetings. that's a hell of an excuse. >> and a courageous member of congress would say you know what's going to h

is to separate the united states from its allies to isolate the united states making it difficult for us to bring power to bear. tomahawk or dual capable aircraft, which is better for that problem? which is better for signaling the resolve of an ally or of the shared commitment of allies opposed to just the united states alone? our conclusion was dual capable aircraft which can be operated from the territory of an ally or near the territory of an ally, but are visible signals of deployment and not simply the employment of strategic systems from the american homeland. this is 5 way to signal resolve. we took the steps following dialogue with many different allies to retire the tomahawk nuclear cruise missile and ensure the fleet of dual capable aircraft and associated nuclear bombs with them are capable of being globally deployed in a time of crisis. >> thank you, sir? >> ken. as i understand it, it was left murk ky under the terms of the mutual defense pack with japan so it seems like we could have told the japanese we don't take a position over the sovereignty, you have to work that

that the people of united states that nothing if arius is going on here i would like to see a full investigation i would support that and once again i have not against whistleblowers i am good against whistleblowers doing things in the manner that manning and snowden did if they had done things differently having a totally different conversation and i'd be supporting and maybe the reason maybe we'd be having a totally different conversation of bradley manning hadn't been tortured. well. let me answer it and i held it against the hayden so the question is ok torture manning you know i was in the military at a time when when you got punished with non-judicial punishment you went to something that was called correctional custody where in some cases corporal punishment was allowed a lot easier eventually disappointingly to see if you would really disappointing it was torture it was torture come on come on it was torture and mr snowden doesn't want to go through that statement today with that i don't think solitary confinement is going to judge said it was torture steve i jump in.

the world engender more hatred towards the united states government if not the united states people anything else that takes place and i think what we need to really be talking about is that and not sort of these sort of well if they come get us how do we go get them you know eye for an eye tooth for a tooth the real question is how do we create sort of a system in this world that's based on humanity based on you know sort of mutual aid if you will will support and not one based on through these reciprocal acts of violence which is what i think these hypotheticals when they're posed in the u.s. media and pose like shows like twenty four you know would you kill a baby if you knew there was going to be a terrorist attack next week or something like you know it never happens that way but you know people pose these questions and sort of put us in a sense of fear and make us answer in a way that i think is always the most warlike. and let's talk about foreign policy in general right now we're hearing a lot of strong rhetoric coming from the political media establishment about iran syria

real grievances against the united states and their mission it now is because we have a new government in iran and it's going to be very hard for them to tamp down this this hatred you know this resentment when you have the rebels the revolutionary guards and all those other people saying how can you trust the americans in fifty three they were through our government eighty seven they prevented us from winning the war against iraq how can you trust them so it's going to really requires some flexibility that we haven't seen the port of washington to work out an agreement with iran you know it's hard to have this conversation without bringing up the iraq war a huge reason that the u.s. gave for going into the iraq war was the fact that saddam hussein had used sarin gas on the kurds so how does this argument complicates this narrative the fact that the u.s. might have in fact been supporting saddam hussein as he was using these chemical weapons or at the very least turning a blind eye well we had the famous picture of donald rumsfeld shaking hands with saddam hussein that happened the day

so the united states can have a pretty clean fleet going forward.s already cleaner than it was a number of years ago. that imposes costs, but the benefits are just worth the costs in terms of air pollution reduction, energy security so the united states is closer to energy independent and consumers are saving money at the pump because their cars aren't going to cost them as much to operate. actually for consumers, they're net winners. there's a rule that involves illnesses that salmonella from food which is going to prevent up to 79,000 illnesses a year, including dozens of deaths. that rule -- that's a good rule. so the fact that it's a rule that imposed costs doesn't mean it's a bad idea. the question is, is the individual rule doing more good than harm. >> you have a book called "simple," the future of government, and that's the thesis as i see it. the question isn't good regulation, it isn't more or less, but it's smart regulations. >> basic idea is that you have technologies now, like an ipad, which has a great deal of complexity in it. probabl

god bless you, and god bless the united states. thank you. washington journal the situation in syria. washington journal live every day at 7 a.m. on c-span. now, from the state department this is 20 minutes. secretary of state john kerry. >> president obama has spent many days consulting with congress and talking with leaders around the world about the situation in syria. last night he asked all of us on his team to consult with the leaders of congress as well. including the leadership of the congressional national security committees. he asked us to consult about what we know regarding the horrific chemical weapons attack in the damascus suburbs last week. i will tell you are someone who has spent three decades in the united states congress, i know that consultation is the right way for a president to approach a decision of when and how and if to use military force. it's important to ask the tough questions and get the tough answers before taking action. not just afterwards. i believe it is also important to discuss this directly with the ame
