Nikolas cruz made his Second Court Appearance today. The 17 year old is accused of 17 counts of murder. This was a status hearing and not part of the trial. We got this statement from the white house earlier. Last april the president said. Some people have jumped last april the president said. Some people havejumped on that and said this is the president shifting his position. Others have said, not so his position. Others have said, not so much, it isjust about his position. Others have said, not so much, it is just about enforcing what already exists. Toa what already exists. To a certain extent it is but it is a step towards greater enforcement. Arguably what would it have done to stop this shooting in florida . Perhaps not very much because we know that nikolas cruz did by his guns illegally and there are loopholes, in spite of background checks you can still buy a gun from a private dealer or all without any background check. Although this is a check whether or not it would make a
Families trust and confidence. So now weve seen maybe not a change but certainly a significant orientation and how we are doing. This is all part of a change in policy over the last few years since 9 11. We had first and intensification of policy and the militarization to move to the acceptance of the complicated conflict.

Why do we get started. Im professor wallace and i want to welcome you to the International Institute which i am a chairman and a colleague of yonah. I will introduce you all in one moment. First the topic of this program, terrorism captives, tactical legal and strategic implications. Those of you who have come to other programs of the institute and ourselves will know that yonah been that yonah unbearably says we shouldnt forget the victims of terrorism and this is a program about victims in a way. Maybe the first one we have had. One of my colleagues pointed out that i think its isis in egypt is the croatian i think is working in egypt. So tack ticks and strategy. I think yonah mentions in this write up the best practices. One of our colleagues who you will hear has written a book which i happen to have read at this time and he makes the point that we are not very good on strategy and i suppose its a real test it seems to me in this area.

There is no way a school should operate in a vacuum and not actually be deeply rooted in the broader context that our students live in. I see many examples across the city of where schools are really working much harder to do that.

Walter you have been a critic a times mr. Perry at times. Walter you always have Something Interesting to say. You are critical of two things. One, the expulsion policy which is if you are in one of these types of schools, you have an incentive to expel the back kids so that your scores go up and you dont the deal with it.
