Wanted to do for a long time. When president obama first came into office, they first asked me and other analysts about what was changing. We used to joke and say it is kind of bushlike. In many ways, you see many of the instruments and practices that the Obama Administration used were virtually identical to what the Bush Administration does, except the use different they use different verbiage. But it looked pretty much the same. Over the course of the first half of the president s administrati...

Come out. So that, for us, was the process of creating the 9 11 commission. So you can imagine that when we finally did create it and it was signed into law by president bush the day before thanksgiving in 2002. For us, that was the beginning again. And this time, we had to meet the commissioners. Who are these people . There were a few bumps in the road along the way and when we got introduced to governor cain and congressman hamilton, we knew that we were in good hands and of course with we me...

Im going to resist the temptation to come to new and minimumwage debate. [laughter] please do. Im happy to have one offline after we are done but just to be responsive to the question about millennials, you know i think one very concrete tangible reality that many people in your age cohort are facing in student debt and i think we are ripe as a country for a cross party cross ideological conversation about how to reform our student debt system and its not simply a matter of using the terms of de...

Of these have been licensed so far. Curious how did you treat that issue in Going Forward . In europe, we have today a significant amount opposite of poland, germany, france, u. K. But we cannot expect to in the next 10 years it will bring a major contribution to that supply. Having said that, if it starts to work very hard and if it gets rid of the dogmatic barriers we have in front of us, not to make use, it it may well help us at least two the european production and as such could he an impor...

That discussion for davids i think we really have to all think very seriously about it not just in our normal thinking about longterm fiscal policy that we have had for the last 25, 30 years but in terms of what has happened in fiscal and Monetary Policy in the last seven or eight years. So on one hand i think much of the premise of what we did in the 90s was precautionary savings. You can see that we have to project not only that you might have a down turn but that you might need a stimulus eff...

But theres another narrative that says that no, negotiations have to be tried because their common interest to the world is changing. The main threat in the region as defined by ran itself is not the United States but it is actually isis. Add that if there is a real negotiation and if there is a given day, if i ran into a strategic utility to the United States, a to relationship can emerge. If these negotiations collapse it will be the indication of the wrong narrative and that will put back int...

Her fearless work in the New York Times, National Geographic and many other publications has born witness to the borne witness to the struggle of war famine and violence all over the world. She takes us through war zones and battlefields, but she also ...

1930s the british failed repeatedly to reconcile competing arab and jewish demands. Was the british mandate destined to fail . Before i answer that if i could just thank the Wilson Center rob, for this event. And state unequivocally that it wasnt for the Wilson Center this book would not be possible. It took this long to write that i was to prop twice as a filter it was extremely generous of the september so want to thank the previous president , lee hamilton, current president Jane Harman Janet...
