the vietnam war did not just happen in vietnam. it happen in korea. bases in those regions were part of the vietnam war and those bases never left. a few years ago obama announced the so-called rebalancing of military forces in the which ledic region, to an increasing of geopolitical strategy. what are your thoughts on what is happening right now, and what is the capacity of the antiwar movement to do something about this right now in this present day and time? i'm going to take a position which will not be very -- very satisfactory to you. -- we have recognize someone here from the vietnamese who hasto the u.n. joined us -- they are very preoccupied with the dangers posed by china. the philippines is very preoccupied by the dangers posed by china. level, our agenda is not to have the u.s. withdraw but to have the u.s. to play a respectful and supportive role -- populationson of the region to maintain their independence, not that they should take dependence on us, but they should be able to have negotiate a reasonable relationship with china, which me

is working out a new proposal to offer to the vietcong and north vietnam. >> nixon's strategy on vietnamo negotiate a peace agreement but at the same time to vietnamize the conflict. >> we had to turn the war over to south vietnam or it would be helpless. we couldn't fight their war forever. >> the south vietnamese were taught to think like americans, act like americans fight like americans. >> south vietnam's president thieu, he wanted nothing more than to gradually take over full responsibility for the war. >> president nixon started withdrawing troops almost right away. he had a lot to withdraw. over 500,000 men were there. >> but he did this very slowly. as they supposedly shifted the burden of the fighting to the south vietnamese. it was going so slowly a lot of people were getting killed in the process, and there was no end to it. >> october 15, 1969, vietnam moratorium day. >> surely this is a day unique in our history. never have so many of our people publicly and collectively manifested opposition to this country's involvement in a war. >> it wasn't hippies. it wasn't radicals a

[applause] >> he joined ap in saigon at the age of 14 years old. this was after his brother, who is also an accomplished ap photographer was killed during the war. nick is best known for the iconic photo he took of a nine-year-old running naked and badly burned from a misdirected south vietnamese air raid. he won a pulitzer prize for that photo. many of the photos in the book were taken by nick. it is an impressive and exciting panel of journalists, whose experience total decades and are collected in some small part in this wonderful book. help me give a warm welcome to the photographers. [applause] nick: we are going to run through some pictures here and then have a conversation and then we will open it up some questions for everybody. >> you cannot see the end of the date there. nick: ok.

policy towards vietnam. steven scully: an interesting part is the normalized relations we now have with vietnam. amanda demmer: yes. this is something that i think most americans are not familiar with. they know that relations with cuba were not normalized until very recently but after the war, policymakers extended the embargo that had formally been on the north to the entire country and also refused to extend formal diplomatic recognition to the new, united vietnam, the socialist republic of vietnam. and so for really 20 years, in a formal sense, there are no diplomatic ties. steven scully: there are different ways, one of the biggest after the fall of saigon but also in the years that followed, coming to america. talk about that. amanda demmer: as the communist forces are making advances in the anon, -- vietnam, u.s. officials see the fall of saigon coming. and so the infrastructure is laid to try to secure the evacuation of close american allies that would really face significant reprisals if they have s

the official documents of vietnam recognize china's sovereignty. and the treaties between the united states, and did not include the islands of south china sea as the territory. >> well look, let me ask you this way. china's view is that the united states has been provocative and has this pivot to asia and should butt out of chinese affairs. on the other hand, america's allies in the region, the philippines and vietnam, they don't want to get into a battle about this, i mean literally a military confrontation with china because the u.s. will be involved either way. you make an eloquent argument as to why the spratley islands belong to china, there is some disagreement to this. how do they avoid military confrontation over this? >> there are two ways. produce a peaceful talent to the south china seas. there are two approaches. one is over the dispute of sovereignty. leave that to the ports of concern for bilateral diplomatic negotiations and talks. secondly, the peace and stability, let china and other countries in the southeast asia work together.

the real question is the management of the vietnam war. that war is index for -- tells us who we are to the world and to ourselves and the vietnam war still casts this giant shadow over the country. what happened in the vietnam war. there is this new memo which was buried, no one had ever seen it. i talked to people about it. no, it doesn't exist. there it is. >> dickerson: tell us what the $ilch memo is is. >> nixon in his own handwriting in early '72 starting to run for re-election, saying that the bombing three years the bombing which he ordered and supervised always accomplished zilch, nothing. it was a total failure. of course this contradicts three years of pronouncements about the importance of the bombing. the night before he wrote that he told cbs news dan rather that it was very, very effective. so it's a lie. it is a significant lie because then that year nixon increased and intensified the bombing in their tapes and documents that show that it really was done because bombing was popular, according to the polling. and nixon want

i would highlight vietnam as the outlier here. a big test of this treaty and whether china will want to join is how vietnam gets on with its state run companies and its closely guarded political system. you really have got that as the example for how far-reaching this treaty could go. for everyone else, it will be quite moderate. charlie: mexico stands to benefit the most? patrick: that is the auto industry concessions, in particular. make it easier for components to be supplied to u.s. manufacturers. me the: layout for process from here. to reviewongress has and estimates have to be produced. the expectation is the politics of the election may make this difficult indeed. different countries have their own fight about this and canada's election is coming up very soon. abe, has made this a key part of his policy to show he is standing up to china. complicated set of things to orchestrate the thing everyone is watching is the producesand whether it a very nationalistic rhetoric. that thisance abroad is going to break new records. i

vietnam is not alone if had this regard. china has undertaken extraordinary and unprecedented reclamation activities on disputed land features in the south china sea that have alarmed all of the countries in the region, most of which would prefer to resolve these territorial disputes through legal means under the u.n. convention on the war of the sea. these activities appear to have been the beginning as china has now turned to militarizing the features by building air strips and surveillance towers that i believe will further destabilize the region. while there has been some progress on the bilateral strategy to decrease this to the establishment of new risk reduction mechanisms such as engagement rules for safety, our efforts to date do not seem to have had an impact on china's aggressive tactics in the south china sea. i would like to hear from the witnesses on what the department believes is the best way forward to address this activity and whether current efforts are sufficient to deescalate tension and convince the chi

was it the vietnam years? cokie: i think so. i think the vietnam years were very hard on everybody.hey were hard on the whole country, but we also were going through this huge generational fight. and i think that having people outside the white house screaming, "hey, hey, lbj, how many kids did you kill today?
