Stampede as they tried to escape a building. In pakistan, doctors struggled to treat the injuries. The quakes were at 2 00 in the afternoon, in the middle of the workday. We were busy doing our work. The earthquake started and the roof collapsed on us. The u. S. Geological survey says the 7. 9 quake was centered in a North East Region of afghanistan. It was felt as far away as indian where Office Workers streemd outside seeking safety. The building started shaking. We were terrified. The quake cut power and phone service in many areas making it tough to accurately assess the damage, especially in remote regions. While the death toll may continue to rise.

Im very happy to speak with you this morning. My question i have memories of the vietnam war from my preschool days until it ended. I was unable to be enlisted at the time. What about the ability of the u. N. , even now, in the present days on the president s enactment of using such a body to enable peace . And to avoid conflicts that are not reported well. As i remember of my military service. That is my question. Guest it is a wonderful question. I wish it were asked time and time again. The relationship that everything we go through in the nation these days relates to, on one side the grit of conflict, and on the other side, the feeling that we ought to spend more time and effort in pursuit of a peaceful resolution of the problem, rather than immediately retreat into a feeling that since we are the strongest nation on earth with our weapons, we will be able to get our way.

[captions Copyright National cable satellite corp. 2015] host welcome. I am an associate professor here at hofstra and i am pleased to be serving as moderator for this distinguished forum. A wars in iraq and afghanistan are arguably the most controversial and consequential decisions of the Bush Administration. The decision to go to war, how to get out of the wars, and related issues have not only dominated the bulk of president bushs time in office, but have also shaped current u. S. Foreignpolicy options in and around the regions. They will continue to do so into the foreseeable future. There is very little doubt that the wars in afghanistan and iraq will continue to be measures by which the legacy of the george w. Bush Foreign Policy will be measured. With that in mind, the conference organizers have brought together this outstanding panel of public servants, journalists, and scholars to examine the way the Bush Administration waged wars and the consequences of them.

And so we we are engaged in a very personal relationship with these people. So over time, the ability to both reside in somebodys brain a
