united states. at the conferences, the united states was there. the united states was often involved. i think if they had been more formally involved, it would have made the league stronger and served to educate american public opinion. it by the 1930's, the united states was in the league, i wonder if you would have had the same isolationist sentiment. there was a lot of sentiment in europe for peace, a huge peace ballot in britain in the 1930's where half of the adult population voted in favor of peace. that does not necessarily translate into being isolationist. the united states welded it into isolationism in a way that did not happen in europe, that you can want peace but still recognize you have to be engaged in the world. i don't know. it is very difficult. i think historians are now arguing that even in the 1930's, the united states was not as isolationist as we might think. there was a lot of talk, but the united states is still involved, particularly on its own doorstep. the good neighbor policy is a 1930's policy. the united states was still very concerned about what was goi

i believe the united states is moving in that direction. if you look at the nuclear issue, the united states some in the united states including those you mentioned, they consider their gain to be our loss, and our loss -- and our gain to be their loss. i think this is fundamentally flawed. charlie: do you view an american loss as a win for iran? min. javad zarif: not necessarily. i do not. i do not believe that in a globalized world anybody with any rationality can look at the international situation as a zero-sum game. unfortunately, many people do. charlie: does your government see the united states as the great state? min. javad zarif: our people the government in iran follows the people. it is not the other way around. if you look at the polls, the polls that are even conducted by american polling establishments including pew, a lot of polls indicate that the iranian people are skeptical of u.s. intentions. even when it comes to nuclear negotiations. i believe the united states needs to convince the iranians that it does not harbor ill intentions against the iranian people. charl

united states trust iran? going all the way back to the hostage situation many years ago, there's a feeling in the united states that you simply can't trust iran and israel says that clearly. >> that is certainly the narrative here in the united states. relations between states are not built on trust. ronald reagan famously said trust but verify. what we need with iran is something that built on international law like the nuclear nonproliferation treaty. and real political understanding. this isn't about trusting iran. it's about having a better relationship with iran for the united states to get out of this record of more than ten years of military intervention after military intervention. the opportunity that iran has afforded us to work with the nuclear nonproliferation treaty to have more monday -- monitoring and verification of their program is the only thing we can do to better understand their program. otherwise we can be where we were in 2002 on the eve of the invasion in iraq where we had no eyes on the ground and he had to trust the people in washington with agenda-driven plans to justify the u.s. inv

united states. people often think that they united states is the most powerful, the most resourceful country. they look to the united nations. the united nations cannot handle this alone. we need collective power solidarity. otherwise our world will have more and more troubles. ladies and gentlemen, millions of people continue to suffer from the devastating consequences of government failures, injustice, inequality, violation of human rights and unbearable poverty. now let me just mention several cases. what i am going to say is not -- but serious situations. let us think about syria. this is the fifth year with the syrian people have been killed and displaced. meanwhile the parties continue to show little or almost no willingness to solve this through dialogue. this is why i've asked my special envoy to do maximum efforts to relaunch a political dialogue as a way to implement geneva convention. if anyone is truly serious about engaging in meaningful negotiations to end this nightmare he has to walk on this matter. i would like to make a special plea on the palestinians in the refugee camps. t

i believe the united states is moving in that direction, i hope, hasn't made that decision. it's still, i mean if you look at the nuclear issue the united states some at least in the united states including those you mentioned and the op eds they have written, they consider their gain to be our loss and our gain to be their loss. i think this is fundamentally flawed. >> rose: but do you view an american loss as a win for iran. >> not necessarily. >> rose: so you're saying -- >> not necessarily. not necessarily. i do not believe that in a globalized world anybody with any rationality can look at the situation as a zero sum game. it is not zero sum. unfortunately many people do. >> rose: does your government see the united states as the great faith that's been used by the ayatollahs. >> well our people no, no our people, the government in iran follows the people. it's not the other way around. our people, if you look at the polls, if you look at the polls the polls are conducted by american polling companies, establishments. a lot of polls indicate that the iranian people are skeptical of u.s. intentions even when it comes to nuclear nego

united states. and there is guantanamo guantanamo. the cubans want it back. the united states at the moment is not willing to discuss that issue and frankly until the president can succeed in closing the detention center there, there isn't much likelihood we will see much success on that front. well despite the obstacles that still remain, i think it's fair to say the general reaction to december 17 was enthusiastic. not only in cuba where we see how cubans reacted. the praise for the agreement was universal. the european union, which has long been at odds with the united states also weighed in praising it right away and the pope gave it his blessing. public opinion in the united states has been very favorable. there have been five opinion polls nationwide showing all of them over 60% favorable for the various elements of the president's policy and even polling in the cube and-american community shows about half of the community is supportive of what the president has done. opposition criticism has come from mostly congressional republicans, especially rubio cruz and je

what is to stop them it's in the hands of the united states. the unitedstates officially objects to these policies so the official u.s. policy says it is unhelpful. but the u.s. continues to support them. that's providing the military economic diplomatic support for them. whether it is motto or anyone else. there are differences in the policies and extremely alarmist rhetoric. so there are some differences but they are not fundamental differences. >> in new mexico under the u.s. law, native american and a spanish land grant heirs have lost common land and their rights have been separated for commercial use. what hope for the future do you see from traditional people continuing to defend the rights of the commons into the use of the natural resources rather than exploitation for profit? >> again same story. these are decisions to population could make in the case of the united states and of course as we all know, this has been going on for 500 or 400 years ever since the first english settlers came. there has been a steady attack on the indian nations driv

amendment begins by overturning dred scott and it says all persons born or naturalized in the united states are unitedstates citizens and it also says that no state can deprive a person of life, liberty or property without due process of law and any equal protection of the law. this is the first time that the constitution was ever directly applied to the state and local governments and also gives the power to enforce it. in the 15th amendment adopted in 1870 says that the right to vote cannot be denied by race or previous condition of servitude. >> how would you grade the interpretations of these amendments and you are not substitute to any. >> i would give an f. or f. minus. why do i say that? >> you've never probably heard of the case to interpret these amendments in 1873 called the slaughterhouse cases. louisiana adopted the law to give the monopoly in the louisiana legislators and some didn't want to work had a challenge into the court rejected the challenge and interpreted every tradition of 13th and 14th amendments. for for example the supreme court said that the equal protection clause can be u

united states they were accused of being corrupt. the houthis were accused of taking advantage of that. what could the united states have done differently, because the united states saw them and a strategic ally in trying to base operations against terrorism. >> that's the problem. we focus on yemen as an ally not a nation. we focus on yemen. will the government allow us to fly drones and get rid of a threat posed to the united states by a.q.a.p. don't get me wrong these things are important. we cannot focus on one element and forget the other areas creating chaos. >> what about i.s.i.l. given there's so many groups spread out between syria and iraq. how do they deal with i.s.i.l. chopping off the heads of caseworkers. >> i.s.i.l. is an offshoot of al qaeda, and i believe the only way to deal with them is two fold. you have to beat them militarily. number two, you have to drain the resources. when i talk about the resources, not only financial, but people and fighters as you mention in your report. we have more than 20,000 foreign fighters aidingies, and fighting with i.s.i.s. under the banner of the so-call

united states united states of america put its foot down. it doesn't mean to go to war but negotiate differently. i don't care if the president calls it violent extremism or, you know, mixed salad. i don't care. that is how governments operate anyway. it is a whole bunch of things we're supposed to agree to. it is in the nature of democratic government to euphemisms for controversial issues. i don't care what he calls it. what i care about is the policy outcomes. if our president picks up the phone and calls the kingdom of saudi arabia about a gentleman who is going to get a thousand lashes and he ends up being lashed, then i think that at the most powerful country in the world, we are being taken for a ride. these negotiations about whether iran is going to have a bomb or not, again, i will leave that to the experts. but the way it's going i feel like we're just giving too much. and a lot of people think it is just this president. i'm actually pessimistic. i don't know if it is just this president. it could be the next and the next. it is not, if western society finds itself in big trouble, it's not because islam is stronger or destructive, or because china is strong or destructive. it is because we're no longer confident in what we are about and what we in. dbelieve in. [applause] >> some much your critics said your criticism of islam crosses the line. so the council on american islamic relations, about a year ago, when they wrote brandeis university said thaw practiced religious prejudice and that honoring you would be similar to awarding white supremacists or anti-semites. brandeis, withdrew plans to give you an honorary degree a year ago. how do you respond to this group's suggestion that you're criticism of islam is amounting to prejudice and intolerance? >> i just want to highlight that they have a hidden again today and that hidden agenda has been made manifest by a woman called romani. who was a journfallist for the "the washington post." and she wrote a wonderful essay on the honor brigade which the council of american islamic relations is one. and, she wrote this in january of this year, 16, january. i like you all to read it. you know how it all works. i think it is unfortunate that brandise submitted to this. that they caved in. but it is not only brandise. it is governments. it is the press. it is, the so many of our institutions who have been taken in by the honor brigade. as the press community, i really would urge you to take that essay and read it because it gives a wonderful answer to the question you are all asking. why is it so hard to criticize islam? read romani, "washington post," 16 january this year. >> ok, you have said that the muslims are responsible for majority of violence in the world. 70% was one percentage quote. i think that is maybe that changed. in any event it was responsible for majority of violence. this questioner says, does this excuse the u.s. government in contributing at all to the violence in the middle east and questioner cites the iraq invasion? so has the west played a role in increasing violence? >> see, the thing about the iraq invasion is, if i want to use the iraq invasion and iraq policies as an excuse for the emergence of isis and for al qaeda and for the crisis that islam is in, then that's one thing. if you want to use it the iraq invasion in that way, then i will take a person who is putting iraq invasion on the table right now to discuss how can we stop isis and islam extremism, just wants to shut down debate. of course there are policies american policies, european policies, western policies. and i really think that it is extremely important and it happens all the time, to analyze our own policies, rework them, review them, and change them but, i have been following this since 2001. what i have seen is, the debate in the united states of america, about its foreign policy is, robust and whichever way you want to pull it, the people of america have a say in it. the people of china do not have a say in their foreign policy. the in the muslim world, people don't have a say in their domestic or foreign policies. and so, on so forth. please don't allow, don't allow, these despots, when you start to talk about their human rights records and domestic policies records and their foreign policies records, don't allow them to use american and israeli policies as an excuse to change the subject. [applause] >> a couple questioners want to drill down a little more deeply on the ideas you expressed. one says, violence in the name of islam is endemic but where is the problem? is it the religion itself or is it the practice by some of today's muslims? and another questioner says, is, is islam not only a religion, is it not only a, because of religion but a combination of religion, legal system political system, military philo
