well i think that i think the united states has been a positive force for mankind and i think that the world with the united states in a leadership role is a world that's moving in the direction of greater prosperity and greater freedom for people now that does not mean that the united states hasn't made mistakes mistakes and it does not mean that the united states should should go it alone but clearly there are countries that exhibit leadership there are countries that exhibit a desire to join consensus in their countries and leaders who seem to want to frustrate consensus so i think that u.s. foreign policy while not perfect has really been a very positive force and has been quite distinct from other you know leadership leading leading countries in the twentieth century ok twenty first century you know what i mean peter a lot of people would say is that you know the united states will join in organisations that it's. its purpose is protocol is one of them not joining the international criminal court i mean this is a exceptionalism in a negative way in the eyes of many people in the world where the united states

after that the united states state department and embassy wanted to evacuate all united states citizens out of pakistan saying it's dangerous here but i had a lot of work to get done so. i called my wife and asked her what should i do and she said stay there with the people you love. finish up your work because you need to be over there right now. and when i was in pakistan after 911, everywhere i went i was touched by outpouring of empathy and hospitality. i remember a poor elderly widow that brought me five precious eggs and pushed them in my palm and said bring these back to the widows in new york suffering. this is all i have to share with them. i was invited for prayers of piecen the mosque and every whether i went people apologized even though they didn't have anything to do with it. finally it came time and i went back and when i got to corefa, hangele had passed away. i went to his grave and stood there look at his box in the ground and thought, how can i go on, this man had become my father, mentor and guide. he told me to sit down and be quiet and take a bath and so many thing

united states. there are over a million haitians who live in the united states. it has strategic importance for the united states. and i also think the u.s. has a capacity to be helpful in haiti. ah, this is a country that's had a tragic history, had a tragic earthquake, a devastating earthquake, ah, and i think the commitment has to be strong. it's difficult. it's frustrating. we all know the problems that, ah, the u.s. has encountered over time. we know the difficult circumstances of haiti, it's the poorest country in the western hemisphere, virtually no institutions, strong institutions. ah, but there's a lot at stake and i think the united states cannot afford to look the other way. i think it needs to help be part of an effort to try to rebuild and reconstruct the country. >> you said, "historic responsibility", what's the us's historic responsibility to haiti? >> well the u.s. occupied the, the country for almost 20 years in the early part of the 20th century. ah, it supported, ah, dictatorships, the duvalier dictatorships for a long stretch of time. so, it

that means that anyone born inside the united states or a territory of the united states like puerto rico or guam will automatically become citizens of the united states. birth right citizenship applies even if both parents are illegal immigrants. as long as the child is born in the u.s., the illegal status of the parent does not matter. supporters cite the u.s. constitution, in particular the 14th amendment which dates back to 1866 just after the civil war. "all persons born or naturalized in the united states and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are cicizens of the united states and of the state wherein they reside." critics argue that the 14th amendment was intended to apply to newly freed slaves, not children of illegal aliens. their solution some. >> i think that at least one parent should be in the country legally before we automatically make all of the children instant citizens. >> 14 states are looking to make that solution a reality. lawmakers from five states unveiled measures this week to deny birth right citizenship to children born without at least one parent that is e

middle east and it's the following it's quite simple actually united states has represented democratization for over two centuries now united states was the second country become democratic or arguably even the first before britain depending how one defines it but it was one of the very very very few in the world netherlands britain united states and over the twentieth century especially since woodrow wilson hundred years ago united states government has made it its policy to enhanced democracy to encourage democracy and has done so with extraordinary success russia as an example we we were part of the process certainly was i mean a lot of pressure people would disagree with that theory sort of feeling very strongly when you have the question that they say forty people are dictators that you can question all you like. excuse me i'm talking all right gentlemen states and i've been in that mode if we were assad did ross not here i'm going to have to go to a break and we'll go back to daniel when we get back from the break after a short break we'll continue our discussion on the middle east state. repairing a broken. highway construc

united states wants to prosecute them for. to be without fear of being brought back to the united states for that issue but afghans argue justice is still being served. during the last nine years we've had many cases with the united states where they ask for people and we agree we've sent back many afghans accused of drug smuggling to face charges in the states. since two thousand and one there were new crimes in afghanistan drugs and terrorism to counter these kinds of problems the afghan government needed and wanted to cooperate with the international community but will that need and want to translate into action every time because for as long as no extradition treaty exists they really can be no guarantee of justice between both countries. kabul. well check out our to dot com for more on the stories we're covering as well as blogs and videos from our contributors quick look at what's on line right now. and she's inspired a youtube song an attractive nearly one hundred thousand facebook fans likeliest of stars heidi the cross-eyed apostle. and a proposed ban on sex ads on the bad pages of spanish newspapers has a rather odd b

what kind of support that they can count on from the united states because it looks like there's not much right now. was done much the united states could do not much any outside power could do and you have a general strike shutting down the country when people refusing to obey curfew orders when the entire legitimacy of the state was being defied by the masses i mean it's interesting to see how u.s. policy shifted just three days before the fall of the regime hillary clinton was praising the u.s. cities are in a relationship saying oh we're not taking sides you know we're. we're not interview and i are fearing one way or the other in fact you know just a couple weeks before that when the uprising began congress voted for an additional twelve million dollars in security assistance for the regime but then on friday you have president obama making these very very positive statements supporting the pro-democracy forces and criticizing the regimes or oppression and i think this is indicative of something that despite the fatalism you hear the arab world about what washington decides controls what's happening on the arab streets we see

united states senate. i'm exceptionally proud to represent my state. alaska has the greatest per capita population of any state in the union. they served on the indian affairs community since my very first day in the united states senate and i hope to continue in that committee for many years to come. president dream to come you got it right and reflecting on the success of indian country in advancing the agenda before congress in our 2009, 2010 session. i think it's important to note that the seeds of the state trees were planted many, many years before we harvested the success of our labors. it took more than a decade of hard, hard work by ncai from the national indian health board and the national health committee to get the improvement act to the president's desk and it took a long time, but we're successful with that. the tribal law and order act was first introduced back in 2008 when i was vice-chairman with senator dorgan on the indian affairs committee and worked with him to advance that bill. that was signed last year. for a number of years, th

collapsed state, attendant to that, part of that process is the state becomes a focus for crime, and terrorism, and piracy, and environmental degradation, and all these other problems that the united states... has implications for the united states. it's difficult for the united states to disengage from those, those, uh, those issues. and one, one last way of thinking about the security, is that while we are at some distance and so the horn can be of a secondary level of concern, it is not secondary to allies like ethiopia, egypt, saudi arabia, kenya, who are very concerned about what happens in somalia. >> dan, you're chafing' at the bit. >> well, i, you know, i accept the validity of the humanitarian interests. but i think that was pretty much satisfied about 1992. >> oh, there's tremendous humanitarian interests... >> sure it is. that's because they keep fighting. and one of the reasons they keep fighting is because we keep helping them fight. for example, in late '06, the united states provided intelligence, air support, and arms for an ethiopian invasion of somalia. somalians hate the ethiopians, and so there we were, come rolling into somalia with, with ethiopian troops. as far as

when the united states rand his huge deficits during 1942, 1941, 42 up to 45, it was some concern to the financially minded, but it came out a moment when the united states was the world's largest creditor. everybody of the united states money. and when you are a creditor you have a freedom of action you don't have when you're a better. the united states now is far and away the largest debtor in world history, which seriously constrained america's freedom of action because if the chinese decided that they no longer want to hold american dollars, then interest rates are going to skyrocket, the dollar will get weaker and people have to figure out what in the world are we going to do. the chinese are already making noises in that direction. they're not going to dump their dollars overnight because they have so many. but you're talking about diversifying. every time they talk about diversifydiversifying american money markets get very nervous, as well they might. the biggest difference i think is in america's financial position with the rest of the world. and when you are the rest of the world money you've got to pay attention to what the rest of the world t

said that the united states would be major importers of liquefied natural gas now in two thousand and ten and five years they're saying well because of the shale revolution in the united states it's unlikely that the united states will import significant liquefied natural gas in fact the united states may well become an export of liquefied natural gas which could have an effect on world markets so it really is impossible to predict all i know is that russia is going to continue to be a major player that we need to work constructively with the russian government as well as with russian companies and i know we can find solutions where everybody will come out ok. are you afraid that pressure on the gas or gas problem. on the e.u. market will. only. intensify the the copper ration of the russian gas producers with china. stop pushing pushing the russian supplies to the east rather than working with the west well first of all i think russia is going to always play a major role in the west i do think that markets all over the world are going to become more competitive i think the european market will become more competitive look at what the effect right now is of ellen g. on on pr
