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

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

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

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

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

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

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 -

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 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

in europe -- and this is how things work. in europe it was more like 20 to one, but we had a more dynamic the comedy -- dynamic economy. since then, that ratio exploded from 40 to one to 550 to one. when i have this -- this conversation with ceos and others people say, you cannot argue to me that ceos begin 10 times more valuable to the company's then the average workers. clearly, the system broke down. how did this happen? there is something called spinning. it is not a dance or whirling dervishes. it is the process of when you do an ipo, what you call a hot ipo with a stock that is going to jump on the first day of sale. in the investment banks would give some of these hot stocks to the ceo's of their clients. why? to keep them happy so they would stay as clients. it would say, here is a bunch of stock, keep using us as your investment bank. when we were negotiating a global deal back in december of 2002 i said, that should not be permitted. that is a violation of the fiduciary duty of the ceo to the company. if the investm

the title of this these gentlemen started in europe and making to the united states and went back. they were all german refugees that barely escaped germany and then became american citizens and to be unbelievable, which is parachute act into nazi alliance. he was a german officer impersonating a german officer behind not the lines and gather actionable intelligence that literally changed the course of the war. >> mr. mayor, you must have had moments where he feared for her life. is there a particular story? there must've been moments that you fear for your life, impersonating a german officer, were there moments are a store you remember in particular? >> at the age of 21, you know no fear. >> that sort of the understatement of the year. a frederick mayor is very self-effacing, but this man was captured by the gestapo and literally water boarded and tortured for three days and survived, didn't break, and then literally turns the tables on his captors and got tens of thousands of german soldiers to surrender. >> the author is patrick o'donnell, the book is they dared to return. the

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

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

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

europe would've been ruled by hitler and his talent and japan would have run asia. now, when you look at the way the news is being covered today, and the disparaging things that are being said routinely by my colleague in the mainstream media about those who serve in our armed forces, or those who support our armed forces, and i have met several other contractors to today, that's the new dirty word in america, contractor. the media has to get out to the american people are going to do to these soldiers, sailors, sailors, guardsmen and marines in my generation came back from vietnam. the american people are not going to stand for. and in large part that's because the extraordinary experience of these young americans. that hasn't stopped politicians from denigrating them. we all know of certain politicians in washington. i'm trying not to be partisan here. mr. president. i don't want to be partisan, but we know a certain illinois senator whose nickname is a dick.

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

europe would have been ruled by hitler and stalin and they would have parceled, and japan would have run asia. now, when you look at the way the news is being covered today and a despaired of things that are said routinely by my colleagues in the mainstream media about those who serve in our armed forces or buzz to support our armed forces and i met several of you contractors today, that is the new dirty word in america, contractor. the media has figured out that the american people aren't going to do to these soldiers, airmen, guardsmen marines that did to my generation that came back from vietnam. the american people are not going to stanford in in large part that is because of the extraordinary experience of these young americans. that is not stop politicians from denigrating. we all know of certain politicians in washington, i'm trying not to be partisan here mr. president. i don't want to be partisan with boots we know oyster the lmi senator whose nickname is-- excuse me, i am just quoting him like in the arzt reserve and our armed forces to those who served pol pot. was immedia

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'

i lived six years -- 12 years in europe. and global warming is real. the people that call you that do not believe it, the joke is on them. we're the only country in the world that has not signed the kyoto treaty. we're the biggest polluter in the world. i am sorry to hear that these people are not believing. we drive the biggest cars, waste so much castlgas. we are inefficient. we of coal plants that have not been updated for years. it is getting worse. i believe in clean energy. i have solar power in my home. i tried to recycle. in japan, you go out on a typical day in tokyo and you can has done to the country. you have the power sakkawasaki e industrial power of japan. host: let's get a response from our guest. guest: i agree with you. japan has been a power and we have seen other major countries -- countries stepping upon. óÑ÷we heard from russia, korea, brazil, a major stepping up in their targets. there is a sense that around the world, everybody gets it. they see the need to reduce emissions. i'm very encouraged by the president's announcement

and in order to get the allies in europe to feel like there was something worth fighting for, the u.s. decided, let's give people hope that, if we get through this vicious war, there'll be something good to come to. we won't just go back to the 30's, where it was every man for himself and a depression. we'll show leadership. and so, the imf came out of that. the international monetary fund had one main job, and it was to have a stable international monetary system, fixed exchange rates among currencies. they would have to be fixed relative to the dollar, and the dollar would be convertible into gold at a fixed rate of $35 per ounce of gold. >> any country in the world back up its currency with gold today? >> no. and this is why i now have real resentment of the international monetary fund. because when the u.s. went off that system under president nixon in august of 1971, instead of fighting to maintain a stable monetary system, or figure out how to get back to one -- which is what i think the imf should have sought to do -- it waited a few years, kind of fumbled along. and then it ac

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

did you do most of your research in europe and spain, here? how did you put it all together? >> well, some in spain because the originals of the documents are in spain. but a lot here. i mean, because the library of congress has a wonderful collection of spanish documents where they relate to the united states. it has a wonderful collection of spanish documents in any case but specifically those ones and they have, in fact, as i realized later -- they have duplicates of all the -- of all the archives in madrid. but i have been writing -- i mean, this is my third book of american history. and gradually you acquire a lot of information about that period. and something, you know, which you had written about -- i'd written a book about andrew ellicott, for instance, and so i was familiar with what wilkinson looked like from ellicott's point of view. it's very funny seeing ellicott from wilkinson's point of view because wilkinson really plays with him like a cat plays with a mouse so that was really how i did it. and i have to say the third element really is the internet. there's

in the summer of 1960, billy graham had been in europe conducting a series of crusades. on august 17th he had convened a group of 25 american clergy in switzerland to discuss the presidential race and to plan a response to kennedy's candidacy. the gathering included peel, taylor of the national association of evangelicals and j. owen wright. harold and graham's father-in-law, dr. nelson bell. afterwards, peel sent nixon a handwritten account of the meeting describing their long discussion that took place among the group of distinguished religious leaders. according to peel, the group was unanimously behind nixon, and peel was part of a select committee chosen to meet with the vice president to convey the group's thoughts. he suggested september 8th as a possible meeting date concluding by telling nixon he had been touched by the spiritual concern expressed for him by those in attendance. he also noted that billy graham was one of nixon's biggest supporters. peel hoped something constructive and wise could come out of this meeting. he later claimed he had nothing to do wi

you reside in england, did you do most of your research in europe and spain? how did you put it all together? >> qassam and spain because the of originals are the documents of spain, but a lot here because the library of congress has a wonderful collection of spanish documents relate to the united states but there's a wonderful collection of spanish documents in any case but specifically those and they have in fact as i realized later the have duplicates of all of the archives in madrid to read but i have been writing -- this is my third book of american history and gradually you acquire a lot of information about that period and something which you had written about, i had written about andrew for instance, and so i was familiar with what wilkinson looked like from his point of view, and it's very funny seeing him from wilkinson's point of view because wilkinson really pleased with him like a cat place with a mouse. so that is how i did it and i have to say the third element is the internet. there is so much information. you can see original documents on-line

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

reid was on and was talking about the socialists in europe. i did a little bit of research into the facts he threw out. one that got me right away was the french been responsible for the artificial knee, when actually it was pioneered and perfected by manchester, england. there is a lot of and misinformation being thrown out. barack obama's said it best in his town hall meeting when he was asked will the government go on this plan? he said, you have to realize federal government is approximately 2 million people and we get a better rate. we put it out for bids and get a better rate. why not open it up to states? just as far as everyone has to be fully covered, do away with a pre-existing conditions and let the states get better rates, let the people be insured by the state in which they live in, including federal employees. guest: that was one of the planned early on and is very much favored by the insurance company, -- i have my master's in business. one of the things that makes you able to keep costs down is the ability to negotiate for pric

europe or the european union is a trade area, hence the year ago is justified in robert monreal's version to be created. similarly in the united states the idea would be a regional currency to precede a one world currency. china's had printed with the dollar has rushed ahead the plan with the one world currency. china's idea advanced by robert mondell is that we would have the international monetary fund utilize the special drawing rights facility at the imf to be funded so they can be alternative to the dollar to settle international trade. now again, it's not an academic idea. as i point out in america for sale at the g20 meeting there was just heldman blonden and apr the final communique which president obama agreed to on behalf of the united states, was to fund $250 billion to the international monetary fund to create special drawing rights and alternative won a world currency to the dollar and international trade. why one world currency? because the international monetary fund is an international organization, and as it issues the special drawing rights as a currency facility, it byp

not something that's new, but i do think that the reading of the reactions that came out of eastern europe, after the collapse of communism, continued to inform that kind of a approach on the u.s. oil, i have some increasingly good folks in my paper where he's talking about that in a very interesting manner about how the repeated the of change in eastern europe influenced his thinking, particularly about iraq. my third point is about more absolutes and national values. and this is perhaps in my view the most important lesson that was drawn from the way the cold war ended by many decision makers leading up to afghanistan and the iraq war. the absolute conviction that existed that united states was on the side of good, that it was on the side -- not just of stability and national interest, we've heard a lot about that yesterday. but it was quite literally on the side of good. that united states needs national values where international values, if they have values that others, as soon as they uncounter it, would embrace. that's, to me, more important that the basis for operations in afghanist

day, the spouses john brown, all over the world, people i've known from south america, south africa, europe and asia, love john brown. that there is a strange continuity that continues with the u.s. -- >> thank you. i appreciate those remarks. it is not really germane to the trial. so i think that we will consider your remarks. yes, sir? >> as i listened to talk about this trial, i am thinking of the trial of the german resistance to the nokia regime -- nokia regime. again, they were charged with treason to the nokia regime, tried by the knotty party judg judges. how is the john brown trial for treason for judge and jury and slaveholders any different? >> well, that is an argument that you made a good argument there, and certainly there is a good body of opinion that would agree with you. on the other hand, there are people who do not look so favorably on john brown's. john brown is a controversial figure in american history. i think he will probably always be a controversial figure in american history. and we have to recognize that out of the controversy arise different opinions but i have
