and this is where the incremental divide is going to come from, not from the united states or western europe. and this recovery continues, we think we should be able to sell as much oil as we are selling now. and if it is a bonus and a growth in europe and north studl amounts, then there may be room for some more incremented in the quantity of oil that we put back. at the moment, i don't see that as such a likelihood, but what i said was in the event of the international market calling for oil in order to keep prices within reasonable level and we are ready to put more out.

maybe western europe has done well with not exaggerating trips.nited states is unique in that but it does seem over blown. and the book called atomic obsession published next week argues that the united states has any threat that's been sig'ificant has been exaggerated. the threat, i agree witherfu er thpá it was to de troy capitalism and economyism but there has been a tendency to exaggerate the thrqpás and we've gotten things like war in iran and current war in iraq and worse case scenario fantasy that sadam or iranians now could dominate the middle east without examining that prop schism through the threat of al qaeda that's led to massive expenditurqj and two wars in many respects. so i'm not sure. i would have to do a comparative thing and i think generally western europe looks good overall. they've obviously not been free of this as well. >> can ideal with focus on this. your comment to my comment. well john, what could you - could the united states do different with regard to pakistan in 2002. same way as it would treat it's own countries t

i think generally western europe looks good. they have not been free of this as well. >> could i deal with pakistan first? what could the united states have done differently with regard to pakistan in early 2002? that is the crucial moment here. it could have treated the same way it treated other countries that supported terrorism by cutting off economic aid. by condemning the behavior of the military leadership, by calling for democracy and return to the constitution that mr. usharev overthrown. we were placed in a difficult position in 2002. a lot of pakistanis were also blaming him for what had gone wrong with afghanistan. they were blaming the pakistani military. on a whole, pakistanis are a pretty secular thought. they are muslims but they are part of the society that was created sharia. the profit waphet was a shia. these things matter within pakistan in a way that could have and should have been used by u.s. policymakers at the time. i argued in my paper that we are asking questions about why that was not done. i am sugge

and what kravchenko had done was he had ransacked cams in western europe and produced one after another, very telling eyewitne eyewitness. that is, people who have actually been in the gulags, including a sensational one. margarita, who had been in prison first in the russian gulags, and then in one of hitler's concentration camps and was able to make a judgment. >> host: what did she find? >> guest: she find it surprise i think on that. but it was quite clear that on the whole, hitler's prisons were preferred to stalin's. >> host: so there is always this question, which is worse, russia, the soviet russia, or not to germany behind all these writings? and for france to hear the testimony was a new thing and kind of broke i don't have a cultural bubble. anyway, there was enormous discussion around the trial. >> guest: it was practically in western intellectual circles to suggest any possible parallel between fascism and communism. to a certain extent, it it still is. i mean, most people that you meet on the street, if you ask them maybe two or three german concentration camps, they will

citizens, face a burden, while these other people continue to pollute, forgetting that, you know, western europe and the united states has been polluting for 200 years and china and india are just getting started. instead of stepping back and saying i have a different plan. we will unilaterally impose very high taxes on fossil fuel use. two main fossil fuel use is that our heavy polluters. gasoline, you know that, fertilizer is a bigger greenhouse gas emitter than gasoline. so, if we put a heavy tax on fertilizer on gasoline it will be more expensive to drive big cars and will be more expensive to drive produced at the supermarket. now we can figure out why this doesn't. we can use those tax dollars to help compensate the indians, chinese, and so forth for switching to cleaner energy sources. and we could use some of the leftover money to sponsor research among cleaner energy users. it's true that you all know that foreign aid is very unpopular because what happens is the voter looks at this and says, i'm not going to vote for somebody who is taxing me to give money to people in a faraway countr

you see stanton involved with middle and upper-class women in western europe.moting -- i don't even know the word. the accomplishments of women. in terms of a radical movement i don't remember seeing much connection with the radical movements in europe. the condition of the pour born in the united states, but i don't think she had -- i don't think she was much outside the middle-class protestant -- using it as a comparison with her own status. look what we do here. this is a very conventional rhetorical use of foreigners who had different ideas on that. i don't think -- two children are living there. before she came back, i don't think she pushed her thinking very far. >> i was wondering if you could talk briefly about the response to the women's bible. something along of students are not really familiar with. it was incredibly radical. >> i talk about this in my book. it is a fabulous discussion of that question. it was in the 1890s supposed to be with a committee. it a kind of analysis of the way that biblical tests -- it wouldn't read very radical to most wo

and this is where the incremental demand is going to come from either from the united states or western europe and if this recovery in the far east continues the way it is, we will -- we think we should be able to sell as much oil as we're selling now. and if there is a bonus and growth in europe and north america even by a small amount, there may be room for a small increment in the quantity of oil that we are putting in the market. but at the moment, we don't see that that is such a likelihood. in the event of the international market calling for more oil and keep prices within reasonable level, then we are ready to put more oil. >> you said china and india in particular. recovering faster than europe. and if that is the case, you don't see a need for additional oil on the market from opec because current supply -- the current levels that opec is producing should be able to meet that demand? >> up to a point. as i said, we don't try to second guess the market. we go by what is there at any particular moment in time. if i was in vienna or let me call vienna, i will tell you what the current s

but we see a spike in december and all western european countries was about eastern europe? eastern european countries for which the data was available, the czech republic, hungary, poland and even russia had nearly a century of godless communism have a big december spending bump in 2007. russia it is interesting its transition to a market economy not too long ago to keep track of the monthly data was about 94. this picture shows in red is the russians shows the size of the december spending of of -- bond and look at the u.s. around 2005 price think of dr. strange love played by a george c. scott and was worried about the gap here you have the santa clause gap. i do not know if this is good news or bad news but we're behind. let's move around the world some more. are we alone? now all the steve tisch of large spending bombs. there are some places where you don't see it dorsey less of it. some of which don't have it you can see in the end of for comparison israel does not have it. why? although americans use it in december for hanukah and israel gift-giving -- gift-giving hol

moreover, it was exposure to the western travelers, media and a general familiarity with the west, with all the westworks that inspired millions in eastern europe to seek a future free from communism. cuba is no different. it's time to put the cuban government on the defensive by removing all united states government obstacles to the isolation of cubans from americans. if cuba's government fails to respond with greater openness the blame will fall squarely where it belongs, on the shoulders of the cuban government. america should never again allow the cuban government to use american policy as a scapegoat for that regime's failures. so, i finished by pleading with the members of this distinguished committee and house of representatives to pass the freedom to travel to cuba act. i also asked senator kerry as the chairman of the foreign affairs to co-sponsor and mark up the senate version of the freedom to travel to cuba act. thank you, and may god bless america. [applause] >> thank you. again, please. ms. antunez is next. she will speak in spanish and then her comments will be translated so this will take a little longer than the normal presenta
