is slip up, do anything that will bring any of that down. the president s goal tonight is to show that there is sharp differences between these two men on foreign policy and not let him try to pull any of that and sort of blur those differences. bill: i would be surprised if governor romney, cammeron, comes in hugy feely because he has got a couple of big things, you know, the libyan thing, obviously we have been talking about, a lot of this program. that s unexplained, to be generous, unexplained. and then he has got the iranian situation where you have got disenchanted b netanyahu in israel. have you got a whole bunch of stuff. if the governor doesn t use it, i think it would be a huge mistake. not just national security but international security hinges on what presidents and would be presidents say. so romney has to be cautious to not be undiplomatic or to be sort of in politic. having said that the romney campaign the governor has been very clear about stark stark
i m fareed zakaria. we have a terrific show today, filled with some of the most interesting thinkers in their fields. first up, a new way to think about the role of women in the world with a terrific important panel. then a first for gps, i will have a robot as a guest. you will want to meet my new friend data. next, a man who made me think differently about innovation. the world renowned architect, frank gehry who designs buildings like you ve never seen before. how do you capture the essence of a world leader? i ll talk to the acclaimed and innovative photographer platon. finally, think you can t sell chopsticks to china? think again. first here is my take. these are the dog days of summer. in this hot sweltering weather most americans are busy working. i know i know not you folks in the hamp tons, but the others. meanwhile, most europeans are busy vacations. thus it has ever been, only it s getting worse. nowadays the average european gets about three times as many days of
the former israeli diplomat, quote, nothing less than a bizarre tirade at the white house on friday educating the president about the plight and the problems of jews throughout history, end quote. so why did netanyahu do this? does it help israel s security or strengthen it otherwise to stoke tensions with its strongest ally and largest benefactor, washington? does such behavior further the resolution of israel s problems? no. but it helps netanyahu stir up support at home and maintain his fragile coalition. the real revelation, which has been picked up by many in the israeli press, is that it shows finally that netanyahu simply doesn t want a deal. he always has a new objection, a new problem, a new delaying tactic because at core, he has never believed that the palestinians should have a state. here is the young bb 33 years ago at a forum in cambridge,
