as well as in china, japan, the united states europe. the middle east. africa. all of them cannot despise their resistance. despite their refusal stop that march of death. despite their resistance. communists repressives. zionists and anarchists. none can evade the march. this one is not coming with hammer and sickles . all wars surrender to. but when comes the cry? when will it really happen as death is peace? when can i truly die. you will never know yet you may have already and this life is your way of paying hommage to the power that loves and you left you with the taste of immortality on your lips. nothing mystical. no cries. power, your way. or buddha in the wings. even lying on your back, you are mocking. this is not a cynical, or pessimist or neonnist poem. join deaths to your life and you will live as if there 1 drum to march to. there is no march at all. you are there. all will be well for all.

think what we're seeing is a capitalism that is turning to the mass of the people here in the united states in europe and beyond and basically saying hard times are coming hard decisions have to be made we're going to impose austerity that's the phrase in europe here in the united states our politicians are debating not whether to cut social security and medicaid but simply debating how much and this is a capitalism that is not delivering the goods pizza capitalism that is the littering the beds and projecting that into the future to diminish the standard of living of millions of people for an indefinite period of time that's not something that capitalism is going to be able to do for an extended period of time without producing major backlash major stresses and i think periods of intense conflict that are not going to be limited to the streets of athens or the streets of italy but are going to spread everywhere and the chickens will come home to our country as well so what's the solution to this is our is you know is what argentina did where they just you know to the i.m.f. that they could they coul

the various issues were being created in the united states. europe and not presume to. tell us how to out of this really and the government. the government in ireland has adopted a disastrous policy in my view in agreeing to take on tens of billions of euros of profit or to i'm really sorry sorry sorry if we're not war we are cutting out a little bit with the communication i've just picked up you saying that disappointed by the government's handling this and accepting these pay not measures but what should the irish government be doing now what is the alternative. first of all we should not assent more in these private gambling deaths to european banks or irish bankers they are not the responsibility of the irish people secondly we need. major public investment in our society especially in major infrastructure to take tens of thousands of people off the disastrously rising on employment queues and in order to generate to recreate our economy create new wealth. in which to develop these services like education and health that are under severe pressure after at the year o

>> well, there isn't the west in the sense we had it during the cold war when the unites states states and western europe basically always got together. because we had a common enemy. >> stephen: right. >> and that's not the way it is now. obama's first thought is not, even bill bill clinton's was what am i going to do with europe it might be india or china or indonesia. the same is true of many european countries too.

the same interest rates it was never going to work it was all about creating a political united states of europe it was never about economics it was never ever going to work in a million years paul ever talk about the losers here of the euro were to collapse as we're in a report some people saying it could disappear within two years the winner is. well i think it could be soon to years i think it possibly could be within the next six months as i say that will press ahead with this bailout it will cost more and more morally so the german taxpayer i think the germans will in effect get fed up with bailing out there but i ask you because illinois in a theory of the fall of the euro. well i'm not sure i think that i think for example the people of greece would benefit from the fall of the order because that's the only way that they can kick start the economy i mean look look in germany there are new parties now starting germany has always been the most probably you country out of the lot for a new party starting up in germany at the moment and the european union the youngsters in germany during peop

obama was europe's candidate for president of the united states, as you know. we were entranced, infused. i was in washington on the night he was elected. it was a magical moment. there is without question-- and it was lovely to have him in europe a few weeks ago and he did a great job and so on. but there is a certain sense of disappointment. >> rose: what's the disappointment. >> that this has not been this moment of regeneration of the restoration of america's soft power of american leadership? the world. now i think that is in part to be laid at obama's own doo that he is he's super cautis. thate won't take risks a go out there. that this enormous empsis on consensus building at crucial moments. and also i think he's learnedn the job. but i have to say given the structural problem that i've described in the american political system, given the list of problems he inherited when he came into office i think you would have had to be a churchill on steroids to turn this around more rapidly. >> rose: so as he argues, the unemployment rate of 9.plus percentage was

we work with europe and the united states and we work on how europe and the united states can work together on the major world challenges like climate change and economic trade and development, just a number of issues the program i run goes back to the early days in the first 20 years when we were primarily a grantmaker making grants to low-cal practitioners and policymakers. i started this program about four years, five years ago now, i think, time flies, to really bring in members of our marshall memorial fellowship network of which david chiu is one of our alumni. some of our past grantees and also the next crop of practitioners and local civic leaders who are really looking to change their home communities by looking abroad or looking to other cities to see what other cities are doing well and how that might be imported back home or translated back home. so the comparative dom particular policy program works primarily in the 25 cities that doug mentioned, but not exclusively in those cities. we really are looking for some of the best practices in education and workforce development, in

forces that stand in a way on the global diplomatic arena i want are those forces is the united states or europe or georgia. well they have been well known cases when for example belarus was ready to recognize across but then it faced pressure from the european union and the united states that's one simple example. but if you ever tell me to look at shank over the years that he was pressured by washington international recognition of he will go bananas i wouldn't recommend telling him that. well let's say he had to yield to circumstances. we understand everything and hold no grudge against anyone of course we know that those states and their politicians live in today's world and have to take into account laws cohen only around so do we actually you know what's going on in the world does worry us to us in the. lynwood with the russia which is you along with border you also have one more important. neighbor and there is georgia. which you have legally been a part of for many years so if you expect ever to live to see a constructive dialogue starting with georgia in. the starting to recognize a pos

>> you know, i think there is still a deep fear on the part of the united states, europe, even turkey neighbors fear about what would happen if bashar left, what would happen in the wake of his government's collapse. that still seems to be the op rattive notion out there right now. when i was in holmes and hama talking to people there very much is a sense of being abandoned by the international community. as one protestor put it we're a revolution of orphans and a sentiment i heard repeated time and again. >> anthony shadid of "the new york times". just returned from syria and joining us from beirut. thanks is so much for talking with us. >> my pleasure. >> lehrer: again, the major developments of the day: at least 17 people were killed in two terror attacks in norway. one person, a norwegian man, was arrested. and house speaker boehner broke off debt talks with president obama this evening. he said the president insisted on too much in tax increases. mr. obama shot back that republicans had dug in and would not compromise, and he called congressional leaders to the white house tomorr

passing the stress test but they're still wide open to sovereign shock from bad debt in the united states in europe investment analysts though think that could open the doors for russian lenders the german banks in particular were exposed to toxic assets in the united states. the german banks for example were exposed to iceland they had nineteen billion dollars of exposure to iceland. of the irish banks the english banks also not feeling very well. the. u.s. banks are still suffering from their exposure to toxic assets so within this area within the euro market the russian banks which has gone through the crisis relatively well. positioned. with cash to go spend money. relatively good. in europe and so this purchase by spurred by. is a first step and we may see some of the commercial banks. following suit doing the same sort of thing. take a look at the markets now oil is lower with investors concerned that a worsening debt crisis in europe may slow the economy and we all fuel demand in asia the hang saying is climbing helped by your report showing home prices rose in china mainland stocks are lead

neither approach seems to work as it well and we're a lot better in the united states and it works in europe even though the united states is so few not out of the woods imagine what the situation would have been with. quantitative easing open today europe falls somewhere in between the two alternatives difficult forwards and the reason is that the user has a particularly nasty problem with the very design of its architecture that neither britain noons of the united states. right exactly there's an interesting. historical precedent here with the introduction of the euro which is the greece can devalue against other currencies because it's locked into the year out and it's basically going head to head economically speaking with germany i see germany as just announced fantastic results with their economy in part because they benefit from the lower year out because are tied to greece so germany is getting a benefit from their troubles and grace in ways that a lot of people are talking about why why not why shouldn't germany just leave the euro so that they then are competing with china and amer

i simply don't believe the united states and europe were totally in sync when it comes to security. i think the whole equation has to be thought out again. i just finished a report for the army war college speaking about the book to say can you recommend what we ought to be doing? that will come out in a couple of months. my recommendation is the president of united states get in touch with the leadership of the european union to start a project to bridge in a note to the european union. they are moving in the direction to call it altogether. -- pull it all together. that is my story and i am sticking to it. [laughter] i am ready to engage on your command. [applause] >> i will be happy to call on you. raise your hand. thank you very much. my question is then made no bridge to csdp without isolating turkey? >> starting off with a difficult question.
