of course, a little oil also goes to europe, so half and half, europe and north america. and finally to other various trading arrangements. we believe that the current market situation is one that has to be handled with such a mind of delicacy because in the process of recovery and intel it's fully recovered, we will have to be careful how much oil we put in the market retries if we're not careful then it could try the prices very low, like they went as low as $30 a barrel at the height of the economic problems the world experienced over the past year or so. we are hopeful that the recovery of the national oil will continue. in which case, we will be able to reduce an export more. we have, i'm sure you have heard about the recent problems in nigeria, which resulted in serious demolition of our capacity to produce and damage to our oil infrastructure. but with the recent fortune and occurrence of the amnesty we are hoping that we will be able to repair and put back some of the infrastructure was has been damaged by the insurgency. but this will take a little bit of time. b

we are not looking to the united states or europe for crude oil. we are looking more towards india and china and developing countries of africa. in the rate of growth for china has come out very strongly. so has india to a point. 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.

the soviets had never pulled all their troops out of europe. the had men on the ground in europe. we had come home in great numbers, leaving everything behind as we left. as one of the general said. but we had the bomb, and therefore even edward teller, who was normally paranoid about the soviet union throughout his life, went off to the university of chicago to work physics again, and felt so secure that he was writing articles about world government. you can imagine him writing such things. then the soviets finished their work with the help of espionage, to be sure, and tested their bomb in august of 1949, and the balance was totally shaken as far as we were concerned. now they have those millions of men on the ground in europe and they have the bomb. teller's response was to champion the idea of a bigger bomb, the thermonuclear, hydrogen bomb, which would be triggered by an atomic bomb but would be capable of being built to any volume and scale that you wanted. that of course, in the course of about three months of work with president truman, became the next thing the united st

the berlin wall coming down was the physical manifestation of a political revolution in eastern europe that change the form of government in every country and it was a political revolution. the third model i call the sand which model where you have an upwelling of support from change from the grassroots and a responsive leadership at the top. when you get that you can get the very rapid change. i think that is what we now have in this country. when i get a little discouraged about how much it is going to have enormous effort, i go back and read the economic history of world war ii beginning december 7th, 1941, surprise attack on pearl harbor, a good part of our pacific fleet anchored in pearl harbor and a month later, january 6th, 1942, president roosevelt gave the state of the union address in which he announced arms production goals. we are totally in world war ii at that point. we are going to miss 45,000 tanks, 60,000 planes, 40,000 artillery guns and thousands of ships. no one had ever seen arms reduction numbers like that anywhere in the world. these were off the chart. but what

europe first. containment. if you can fit it on a bumper sticker it is probably a pretty good strategy. you will pursue the army through northern virginia and get it. it is a pretty good strategy and not irrelevant. some strategies take longer to cute than others. the poept is in our system it has gotten harder and harder over the years since the end of the second world war because the bureaucracies are bigger, there are more of them, there are more players at the table. and translating a president's intent or a commander in chief's intent into actual policy becomes harder and harder. i certainly agree that -- and i think phillip and bob said this -- anything that is run through the interagency slaw guaranteed to come out not as a strategy but a number of wish lists. but i think there is some utilitity in having reduced in some place a very short statement of what it is we are trying to accomplish as an administration and what should our objectives be, what are the priorities and how should we try to go about m

and europe was in play and therefore kravchenko was attacked. i say we have about 10 minutes before you need to go. and move on a bit, but say a word or two about this trial. he wasn't the defendant, was a? >> guest: no. this was one of the brilliant things that we can give to kravchenko because he thought of as himself. his book when it appeared in a french translation was immediately and violent attack in the comet press as a total fraud. that is, it was said that kravchenko had never written a book. that the book had been written by an american intelligence agent and so forth and so on. now what kravchenko did was to go to paris and through this journal for libel. and you had what was called the trial of the century. you notice appears about twice every decade. the trial of the century in which one after another, famous french intellectual got up and swore on a stack of copies of the economy's there were no prison camps in russia, no gulags, or anything else. and what kravchenko had done was he had ransacked cams in western europe and produce

there are these great conference is selling hauer europe will be after the war, to iran yalta and potsdam were working with russia in this period, and then after the war 45 on world war ii is over, the cold war is beginning, we are beginning to realize russia is at least not the kind of ally we had imagined, so the point is this relationship, the u.s.-soviet relationship flip-flops' a lot and americans are going through this trying to figure out what they make of it all. professor fleming, you chose for figures. let's start with the lesser-known ones. who was jan valtan? >> guest: he was a sailor, second class merchant marine by born in 1905, and his life in some ways was a paradigm of the left-wing communist, powerful communist movement in germany but was crushed when adolf hitler came to power in 1933. krebbs joined the communist party quite early. there were to sort of pseudo revolutions in russia. one in 1919, and the more important one in 1923. krebbs is a very young cade, was involved in the 1923 uprising and soon thereafter became quite active in the common term, the comintern was

>> they were crucial program moved to europe in the summer by continued to hold meetings in europe of leading protestant evangelical leader strategizing how we can be this guy. they came up with a host of meeting in washington d.c. in early september at the mayflower hotel and he chaired that meeting it was a secret meeting and the clergy were there and they strategizing raw how to plot against kennedy. the media infiltrates that meeting the there was the impromptu press conference where this absolutely exploded pratt that point* john kennedy was on his first campaign trip to california which was going abysmal and went off like a bombshell when people learned that norman vincent peale were organizing millions around the country and can be actually had an informant who told him all nixon was doing and they were terrified what they learned, one week later kennedy made the famous used in the speech in a panic. review river that today and think of kennedy in that campaign, that is the speech we think of but that is what he did not want to make but out of fear and desperation in response t

and there was no question by 1994, say -- that there was very strong pressure in central and eastern europe. very strong desire join the alliance. that this was probably going to happen. and the russians were adamantly opposed for a variety of reasons. and one of the biggest challenges was to so manage the relationship with russia that it was possible to go forward with an enlargement without an open break with moscow, and by and large that was a success. but it was an irritant in relations with russia. think there's a very strong case for the strategy pursuing both nato enlargement in cooperation with russia. but that didn't make it an easy task. the situation got worse with kosovo wherein the russians at least went through the form of claiming that they were going to back theer is s. a critical diplomatic is, which was largely atributable to strow talbot personally, was getting the russianens mostly through the influence of him. but they were not going to pull his chestnuts out of the fair to, at that point with the culmination of a sustained goming campaign and the real property of gun -

it stands for conventional forces in europe, which was initiated in 1988. in fact, i know that when cheney became secretary, he was very much focused on the importance of reducing soviet conventional forces in europe, that that really was the problem. we were saddled with something else, which had a more political profile of time. that was a proposal inherited to modernize one of the short-range missiles in europe, which really -- that was one of the ideas that may have seemed necessary back in the battle days of 1985, but you know how long it takes pentagon programs to the ball and finally the obsolete and finally to be recognized as obsolete. at any rate, here this thing was floating out in the middle of all of this call full situation in germany, and germans were asking what on earth the americans and -- i will not sit all germans, but most of them were pretty upset about the idea. we did not need them, but what we really did need was a reduction of the soviet conventional threat, and there was a view within the new administration that cfe proposal that

maybe western europe has done well with not exaggerating trips. the united 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 cou

government, but governments particularly in europe is on that privacy issue. i know eric is very sensitive to that. but the truth is that there is a belief, and i encountered this and a i report this in the book, there's a belief if you spend time on facebook you say, how can you say people are concerned about privacy? so you kind of become convinced that privacy is not a big issue. but it might be because you collect a lot of information about people. not by name unless it's, you know, some of your sites, but mostly you don't have their name, but you have a lot of information about them. and people get concerned. so you now face, i would argue, that three issues that you deal with that arouse the concern of governments around the world. one issue is concentration of power, and to go back to moth, when i was interviewing microsoft for the book i did and i covered their trial, one of the things that was quite astonishing was how out of touch they were, and bill gates almost pleadingly talked to me about how could you think that we are not doing good? how can my

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

they're just pictures of me having drinks in europe with friends. >> that's it. >> that's it. >> so the principal approached you. what did he say? >> he told me that a parent had called in and complained about a message that i had posted on my facebook account and about some pictures of me with alcohol and he just asked me if i had those things and i said, yes, i've got some pictures from my trip to europe this summer that a co-worker and i winter on with some other friends. it was completely non-school related and i told him that i had those things up there and he said that, with the language and the pictures, that was enough to warrant a suspension and he represented that the decision to suspend me had already been made by himself and the superintendent. >> so, there was no investigation, there was no chance for you, you didn't state your side of the story? >> no, there was no investigation. i was stopped on the way into the school that morning and brought into the assistant principal's office. i had no advance notice of what the complaints were. and i was railroaded into resigning ri

but, look there are numerous countries in europe such as italy that have multiple parties that split the reins of power and they often find themselves unable to take any actions in terms of government policy better at all controversial because they find it impossible to put together majority coalitions that can get anything done. the more party to have sharing control of the government i think the more difficult it is to have effective governance. i also don't like proportional representation encoding and i disagree with the idea that requiring candidates to win a majority of the vote is somehow a bad requirement for the democratic process. i think it is a good requirement. candidates have to feel the ideas and solutions to problems that a majority of voters think it's a good idea. when the majority forces candidates to try to build coalitions and deal with multiple interests groups which i think creates better overall representation. frankly it also prevents individuals who have radical ideas and only a small minority of voters agree with from getting elected to positions where they

but american banks have less money tied up in middle eastern investments in banks in europe and asia. >>> did was not about investments at tysons corner. instead it was all about the deals. we saw the crowd at macy's at the doors opened bright and early this morning for those folks and a whole lot of other people. last night was about the meal. this morning all about the deal. the sales are all over the place but so are the chances of theft or problems in the parking lot. fox 5's jessica weinstein is live in rockville with what's in store for shoppers in montgomery county this season. >> reporter: good evening. these shots behind me just closing the last few minutes but parking lots a big problem place during the holidays. y have fights over parking spots between the drivers. the pedestrians aren't always watching where they're going. this year in montgomery county, you're going to see not only more mall security but more montgomery county police officers. >> have a good night. happy holidays. >> reporter: as shoppers grab their bags tonight in rockville, an early holiday gift from mo

that is a microcosm of europe and one room. this was one of the more challenging delivered of poles we conducted, -- poolslls, because it was a sampling of countries speaking in 22 countries -- 22 languages. a mansion in the small groups, how many translators we had to have just to get this -- the discussions. they directed questions to competing experts, including prime ministers and high-level people. and then there opinions changed about questions affecting europe. this was a great challenge, because in europe, there is no european-wide public sphere at the mass level. they are elite spires. and the elites speak english, or maybe french or chairman. not 21 or 22 languages. the french talk to the french, the bulgarians to the bulgarians, the portuguese to the portuguese. you do not get a european-wide discussion. we saw what it could be like and we put in the parliament building to dramatize that this is the people's house. so, one thing about random sampling is a this scalable. you do not need a larger sampling for a larger

of course a lot of oil also goes to europe, half and half, europe and north america and some of it finds its way to the far east through the arrangements. we believe that the current market situation is one that international economy still in the process of recovering, and until it is fully recovered we have to be careful how much will be put in the market because if we are careful we could drive the prices very low like they went as low as $30 a barrel at the height of the economic problems of the world experienced in the past year or so. we were hopeful that the economy would continue in which case may be to produce and export more. we have an insured you have heard about our recent problems in the niger delta that resulted in serious dimunation of capacity to produce their urge to wheel and gas infrastructure but with the recent fortunate occurrence of the amnesty we are hoping that we will be able to repair and put back some of the infrastructure that has been damaged in the insurgency. but this would take time and be that as it may, we are hoping that we should be able to resume gro

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

oil goes to europe. so half and half, north america and some of it finds its way to the far east through various trading arrangements. we believe that the current market situation is one that has to be andled with delicate hands because the international economy is still in the process of recovering. and until it's fully recovered, we have to be careful on how much oil we put in the market because if we're not careful, we could drive the prices very low that went as low as $30 a barrel at the height of the economic problems and the world experienced in the past year or so. we are hopeful that the recovery of the international economy will continue, in which case, we may be able to produce and export more. we have -- i'm sure you have heard about our problems in the delta, which resulted in serious reduction of our capacity to produce and infrastructure. with the recent fortunate occurrence of the amnesty, we are hoping that we will be able to repair and put back some of the infrastructure which has been

this conference in europe. what is your understanding of where and when that would take place, and the scope of its? >> it's a good question. as far as i have read and as far as we heard from the german minister lastly, i think it is all tvd at this point. i think they're trying to determine what it should take place, where, and who will be included, things of that nature but i think the bottom line is they want of a larger conversation about this before they commit additional forces. >> it seems to be saying that it was going to be in germany, right? >> i don't know. >> wherever it is, do you anticipate the secretary will can't? >> i don't know that this is an american -- this requires an american presence. i think this is a european conversation. i don't know. if we are invited, i assume he would entertain the invitation, but i don't think -- i don't think it is our expectation at this point that his attendance would be required. okay. justin and brian and i will be to all a happy thanks giving. smack on don'

the jewish immigrants began coming here from east europe in 1880s were right to call america the golden and medina, the golden land. there was no gold industries as some of them may have imagined, and so they had to struggle and struggle hard. but there was another kind of gold in america, more precious kind, than the gold coins. it was freedom and there was opportunity. blessed with these conditions and hampered by much less disabling forms of anti-semitism and discrimination, then jews had grown accustomed to continue with, children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren of these immigrants florist. and not just in material terms. to an extent unprecedented in the history of their people. what i'm saying is that the jewish experience in this country bears eloquent testimony to the infinitely precious purchase of the traditional american system. shirley than we jews have an obligation to join with its defenders against those who are blind or indifferent are antagonistic to this philosophical principles of moral values and the socioeconomic institutions on its health and vitality, th

official tally of high-technology manufacturing, including aerospace, pharmaceuticals -- china has passed europe in leading high- technology manufacturing in the next several years. they see developing solar, wind, high-voltage transmission systems, as something where they want to be the leader. so they're pushing because they see incredible opportunity. so this is where a lot of european countries have gone in the past. china is being very aggressive about it. they are now leading the world in transmissions over long distances. >> do you sense that they will commit to some sort of carbon reduction? >> i do know. i would hope yes. if you look at what they do internally when they say they have it -- right now, their current five-year plan is to increase and better energy intensity. their use of energy by 20%. that is for this five-year plan. another begins on an aggressive schedule, but now they are talking about the following five-year plan, saying it will be a carbon emissions to gdp clock. why is that significant? they're pushing heavily on hydro, wind, renewable, and on solar. if you take wha

china has passed europe and the united states in leading high technology manufacturing from the last couple of years. they see a transition to a green energy economy, developing solar, wind, as something where they want to be the world leader. so they're pushing because they see an credible economic opportunity. now, this is where china is going. this is where a lot of european countries have gone in the past. china is being very aggressive about it. they are now leading the world in high voltage electricity transmission over long distances. >> do you sense that china will commit to some sort of carbon reductions? >> i don't know but i would hope yes. if you look at what they're doing internally. right now their current five-year plan is to increase -- better their energy intensity so as their g.d.p. grows their use of energy will be decreasing by 20%. that's this five-year plan. another five-year plan, again a very aggressive schedule, but now they're talking for the following five-year plan as saying it will be a carbon emission to g.d.p. now, why is that significant in because the

what is it that europe is doing? >> i think it's relevant to this because it's important for this foundation of what we want to get them to do with costs. simply stated we want to make sure we have capacity to manage the failure, not preserved, but managed the failure of large institutions with less damage to the economy to it and we need to have some emergency authority to contain the risk of financial panic. limited authority, carefully circumscribed to make sure we can draw a circle around the fire and prevent spreading to healthy institutions. those are the two things we did not have coming into this crisis. it was a tragic and costly failure as you understand well. we can't -- node reform process will be adequate unless it gives a carefully designed balance of authority like that. otherwise taxpayers will be more exposed in the future and there's going to be more risk of moral hazard because in the end if you don't have those in place, government is have to do what we did last fall which cost more moral hazard a

in europe especially now some of the anti-hate speech laws are quite prohibitive. so i guess if i remembered irving crystal's essay right i'd be of a similar note. i'd be opposed to on obscenity because i think it does degrade the soul, and it's hard for people to avoid. but i think i'm pretty libertarian on what's allowed politically. >> well, censorship is a slippery slope. we shouldn't engage in it period. [applause] >> apart from anything else, it just seems much more effective to read marx or machiavelli and point out what's wrong with what they say than to try to hush them up at this point. [applause] >> let me come out with both and make everyone mad. censorship will happen no matter what you do. the question is, will it be principled censorship or unprincipled censorship? you can't help but censor simply by having people read some things rather than others, okay? so censorship is something that is always going on whether -- you can't say you are or aren't going to have it. that having been said, you can see what unprincipled censorship or censorship from th

if you are the king of nepal, you might aspire to conquer europe. you just don't have the wherewithal. you are constrained, you know that you are constrained, you can't do it. so they have values, beliefs, and they faced constraints. and they have to work out what is the optimal way to behave given that they are constrained and that there are other people trying to defeat them. this is, in essence, the problem of chess. is the problem of ridge, it is the problem of poker. so if you think about a game like poker, for example, is it about how good the cards are that you hold? generally not. it's better to hold good cards, of course. but you can play a very successful game of poker, holding poor cards. poker is about signaling people through betting. and foreign affairs is about signaling people. there are two kinds of signals, cheap talk and costly signals. i'm always very proud of my undergraduate students. i teach at nyu in the introduction of international relations. i'm always proud when they come into class after the president or some other forei

the second question, britain's future lies more with europe and america. it is a very fascinating problem because of the investments they have made in the european union and the common -- common currency, that you would find the british public is now thinking that europe is less important. still a majority of the sleeping that but the numbers in parentheses show that a turn again toward america for more leadership rather than their own european supranational structures. the next one, america is a force for good in the world. again, look at the percentage increase. liberal democrats still are not convinced -- they are minority. but now 54% -- up 10% from the middle of the second bush administration. the last thing, there is not a comparable floor -- for it because tony blair was the leader last time, whether gordon brown should be as close to obama as tony blair was to george w. bush. even the conservatives who don't favor gordon brown as their potential leaders still see the majority is the case. i apologize for the distortion with this, but what is this a

of a discrepancy of what senator levin is expecting and president obama is expecting to see and what europe is looking at as well. >> british troops is being talked about is 400 troops. >> you use that as a percentage. >> and the level, and the other countries, they never send more than 1,000 or 1,500 troops. so we are talking about a much bigger percentage from the united states. >> and what are members of congress hearing from the public. both of you asked questions about public tolerance on this and i'm wondering what the pressure is like on capitol hill for the president to sell this effectively. >> the biggest trouble they are having is it's going to cost a lot of money and take a long time and the country doesn't see us spending time and money on an

those brand named drugs are sold for a much lower price in europe and they do more research in europe, at least that was a couple of years ago. i haven't seen recent data. but the fact is lower prices and they've done more research. and in any event, there's more money spent on advertising promotion an marketing than there is -- and marketing than there is on research. watch television and see the next commercial that asks, shouldn't you take flomax, whatever that is. shouldn't you find a doctor to ask if the purple pill is right for you. go to a doctor and say, i don't have any aches or pains, but is the purple pill right for me? i don't have the foggiest idea what the purple pill is for. they relentlessly push this advertising. maybe they should use that money for research. but, mr. president, to put a finer point on it, if i might, this is the price of lipitor. this is the new price, by the way. $4.78. -- in the united states for a 20 mil20-milligram tablet. this is the same pill put in the same bottle made by the same company, lipitor. same manufacturing plant in ireland, they put
