nations. one of the most obvious ones, of course, was with the united states. so this treaty from 1838 establishes the boundaries between the united states and texas -- a very important detail . this was when martin van buren was president, and this particular document does not contain the actual terms of the boundary treaty, but it does -- i guess you would call it the document of transmission of that treaty. it includes these beautiful seals, which contain sealing wax from the united states. texas also entered into treaties with other nations. notably, great britain. this one was from 1840 and addresses the suppression of the slave trade. it is actually signed by queen victoria. after the civil war and after reconstruction, texas experienced a new era of immigration. again, mostly from the united states into texas. this is a broadside railroad map in effect from an organization called the texas colony association. again, it was the new attempt to colonize the vast lands of texas . in an attempt to address many of the issues that should have been corrected by

united states. the five tribes in idaho. they contribute more than $850 million to the state's economy. and have increased statewide employment by more than 10,000 jobs. 11 tribal nations in minnesota have collectively contributed more than $2.7 billion to the local economy while employing 41,000 native and non-native minnesotans. these are more than native-american success stories. they are american success stories. and we're ready to write many more in the years to come. of course, there is much more work to be done. too many of indian country's reservations and communities are a long way from prosperity. too many tribal communities are still plagued by high unemployment rates. high dropout rates. rampant drug and alcohol abuse. and an appalling suicide epidemic. together we must believe that we can overcome those challenges. of course, trust itself is based on respect. and part of modernizing our trust relationship means modernizing the way native people are respected and our civil rights are upheld.

political people that's always important, but he would decide first what was in the national security interest of the united states and then talk to the political people and say can we get support for this? how do we do this? decide first what's right and what's in the national security interests. people on both sides of the aisle. this national security community of which i'm only an adjunct member is actually very nonpartisan, folks. folks are really trying hard to support each other. and i think the white house sends the wrong signal when it gives the impression -- sometimes even the misimpression -- that important national security decisions are being made with a heavy political calculus. >> okay. a good place to open this up to conversation. there are people with microphones someplace in the room, so if you could just bring one over to this gentleman here whose hand is up. i would ask you to identify yourself and ask a question. and if you, if you give a speech, then i'll move to the next person. yes. >> my name is steven shore. i think everyone agrees that strategy is cool but isn't strategy ultimately at od

through the experience of institution holding one of the great native collections in the united states, the national museum of the american indian, here is my question -- what does a quarter century's experience with repatriation teach us about museums and their ethical and interpretive practices? first, we have learned through the process of repatriation that certain museum practices of the past, while perhaps at least arguably defensible as a matter of western science, are nevertheless indefensible in humanistic moral and ethical terms. the native human remains to not belong in museum collections nor do objects of a sacred and ceremonial nature that are essential to contemporary descendent native communities for purpose of perpetuating native cultures into the future. second, you are member my earlier quotation. -- you remember my earlier quotation. we should be careful not to miss its subtlety and wants. which is the laws represented a seismic shift in paradigm and practice regarding authority that reached far beyond the little -- the literal return of certain categories of objects for museums to

united states but that did not come to pass very quickly. once it became apparent texas would not be quickly annexed texas had to be about the business of establishing business with other nations. one was with the united states. this treaty from 1838 established boundaries between the united states and texas. a very important detail. this is when martin van buren was president. this document does not contain terms of the boundary treaty but i guess you would call it the document of transmission of the treaty and includes these beautiful seals from the united states. texas also entered into trees from other nations notably great britain. this one was from 1840 and addresses the suppression of the slave trade. it is actually signed by queen victoria. after the civil war and after reconstruction texas experienced a new era of immigration. again, mostly from the united states into texas, and this is a broadside railroad map from an organization called the texan this -- texas colony association. it was a new attempt to colonize the vast lands of texas. in an attempt to address many of the issues that should have been

chairman of the joint chiefs admiral michael mullen has stated that the largest threat the united states nationalcurity is our own debt. and so we have to look very seriously at costs and make sure that there is a true return on value for the american citizen. and what is that value? i get it that the carrier is the most impressive symbol of our nation. and i've heard the discussions about the president asking where are the carriers? i still try to find those quotes in the the presidential papers. but i hear that the president is always asking about the carriers. so what is the value of symbology? what is the value we attach to the carrier? is it, as i've stated in my writings, if we assign a value to the carrier of 1.0 in presence and symbology power then what is the value of other ships in-3z can we state that it's .2? because i can buy six berks for one aircraft carrier. can i make that up and grow my fleet? because surely this is one of the biggest challenges facing us. we're looking at a fleet today that we're trying to get above 300. but our numbers keep going down. we decided to increase t

in general the united states being a nation of immigrants embraces a multiculturalism making life easier i think, for recent immigrant groups and muslims than it is for much of europe. >> the muslim community in the united states is varied from 77 countries, it's closer knit and european countries. there's an article in "national review", arguing that as the numbers of muslim immigrants increase in america, so does the possibility that some muslims will join terrorists since 1992 the numbers have doubled from 50,000 to 100,000 a year. dr eunice does that growing muslim community in america increase the terrorist threat? >> i think i disagree with that. that implies that there's inherent problems with islam, and, therefore, we should be worried about the trend. i disagree. i think it's an ideological issue. there is a fringe element. we cannot deny that. there are people that condone blasphemy and apostasy laws and say you cannot be loyal living under a non-muslim government. once you eliminate those viruses, numbers will not mampt you can expand and go to any scale. we have seen that. ou

national self-confidence. for almost a century the united states had boasted of the most productive farms the most modern factorieslimitless natural resources, and the best workers in the world. but the great depression brought the country to its knees. a nation which thought itself wealthy found itself impoverished by the inability to mobilize its resources. leon keyserling remembers that time of national torment. industry was in collapse banking was in panic agriculture was in ruins and labor was in despair. we had 13-15 million umemployed out of a labor force of 46 million people. you had bank failures right and left. people wondered how long life could be sacred or property safe in the face of fathers who couldn't meet their children's cries for food. after 10 years of depression one in six remained out of work. factories were closed. it was a vicious circle. it took a worldwide explosion to break it. in 1939, german armies marched into poland, igniting world war ii. the united states vowed to stay out, but the allies needed our economic resources. what were these resources and how would we mobilize them? robe

nations. we, the united states, are not blameless. our growing dependence on foreign sources has been adding to our vulnerability for years and years. and we did nothing to prepare ourselves for such an event as the embargo of 1973. during the 1960s, this country had a surplus capacity of crude oil, which we were able to make available to our trading partners whenever there was a disruption of supply. this surplus capacity enabled us to influence both supplies and prices of crude oil throughout the world. our excess capacity neutralized any effort at establishing an effective cartel. thus, the rest of the world was assured of adequate supplies of oil at reasonable prices. by 1970, our capacity, our surplus capacity, had vanished. as a consequence, latent power of the oil cartel could emerge in full force. europe and japan both heavily dependent on imported oil. now struggle to keep their economics -- or economies in balance. even the united states, our country, which is far more self-sufficient than most other industrial countries, ha

united states has been involved in yemen for several years. there have been continuous drone strikes in yemen. yemen has been very much on the radar of the united states from a national security perspective for several years. i mean, they believe that some of the most elaborate plans to try to attack the united states that's where anwar al awlaki who was an american citizen, was killed in a drone strike. so, by no means that's yemen fallen off the radar for the united states. the challenge for the united states is to anticipate where these types of hotspots are, where these individuals have gotten training. the problem isn't with the yemeni government or the yemeni authorities. certainly, they have their own problems, but in a case like this yemen was a battlefield where these guys went or at least tried to go to receive that training. but it's one of many battlefields. the situation in mali's another situation, iraq, syria, afghanistan. for the united states, for its allies, there are so many raging battlefields that are producing these types of individuals that it's becoming increasingly difficult for the united states and its allies to anticipate. >> from looking

we're going to have a real battle about what should be our winning message for the united states, nationalor the people of cuba. we have given away the store, and i don't think the cuban people are going to be any freer today or tomorrow with this very weak cuba deal. >> congresswoman, look at the numbers of our poll. 60% approve of this new diplomatic recognition of cuba. what do you say to that 60% who say this is a good thing? >> we hope that it's a good thing. i would like nothing more than anything we can do to get the cuba free to get the free elections, multiple party system governing. what we have now with this deal is not going to get us there. it's a good deal for american tourists maybe who want cheaper rum and cheaper cigars and maybe that's what's driving this conversation but i think it's about freedom, it's about respect for human rights. the president is not going to help the cuban people get there. in fact, castro after the speech put on his military uniform and said, hey, don't worry, we're not going to change at all. that message says it all. we should listen to the diss

we can show that this nation is able and willing to help other nations meet the common challenge, it can demonstrate that the united states will fulfill its responsibilities as a leader among nations. quite frankly at stake is the future of industrialized democracies which have perceived their destiny in common and sustained it in common for 30 years. the developing nations are also at a turning point. the poorest nations see their hopes of feeding their hungry and developing their societies shattered by the economic crisis. the long term economic future for the producers of raw materials, also depends on couldn't cooperative solutions. our relations with the communist countries are a basic factor of the world environment. we must seek to build a long term basis for coexistence. we will stand by our principals we will stand by our interests. we will act firmly when challenged. the kind of a world we want depends on a broad policy of creating mutual incentives for restraint and for cooperation. as we move forward to meet our global challenges and opportunities, we must have the tools to do the job. our military forces are

united don't -- nationalism. it is not hate speech, cried glenn beck, to defend the united states as a christian nation in 2010. in the 2000 book "faith and politics," senator john danforth maintained that some people have asked if america is a christian country. the answer must be, no. to call this a christian country is to say that non-christians are a lesser order, not full-fledged citizens of one nation. these recent debates and disagreements are not new. the problem of what it means to be, or not to be, a christian nation has been a touchstone of conversations about religion and politics for two centuries. i want to take us back to the age of revolution and turn our attention to a cast of forgotten founders. a group of men who harnessed the language of christian nationalism in poignant and meaningful ways. the small and overlooked cohort of bostonians a offer a new way of us to consider what is at stake when we address, when we speak, the vexed political problem of the nation's religion. the year was 1777. the month was january. a petition on behalf of a great number of blacks was resented to the newly for

the lives of 2,200 palestinians, including 580 children the united states proved that it is that the most recent positions in the united nations security council are proving that. i do not think that the united states can be so much in strategic reliance and at the same time be an honest broker. it doesn't work. we need a different approach. >> is it time for a change of leadership, time for mahmoud abbas to go and new leadership to take the helm? >> it's time for change since long dime. i think it's not -- long time. it's not about mahmoud abbas but a whole generation a whole approach. in summary i would say that we need to move forward from traditional politics where many believe in one party rule or one man rule or one executive structure rule into a new modern form of poll tickets, a modern -- politics with separation of powers and effective independent systems. it's time for that. >> we were told an international peace conference is needed to continue peace talks with israel and carry out a 2-state solution. human rights activists are calling on saudi bloggers to be released. he was sent to prison with 1,000 thrashes for
