i believe that the proliferation and that part of the world has stabilized the relationship between india and china and also between india and pakistan because they understand the costs of eight war are greater than the benefit. u.s. and china i think equally unlikely, maybe even more unlikely. china -- i have a definition of ideology. on issues you take an extreme position and extremely resolve to hold them. the model was all ideology. china is no longer -- the chinese government is no longer idealogical. it is a petty dictatorship sustaining itself in power and it is very good at sustaining itself in power, so to the extent that there is an issue with china it is a purely internal issue, and that is that as more and more eletes rise in influence particularly in the coastal provinces the ability of the central government to sustain its control will become more difficult and they will have to choose either to liberalize and allow the is averse to have more say or crack down and choose to keep themselves in power at the expense of the economy and that could lead to an inclusion. i don't se

to support a major security council seat for india. >> to get to the first part of your question on india and china as a two rising powers, there are very important on the rise in global scene. china, as we have said, there are issues of concern that we have with the chinese and we have raised them. all levels of air action and hopefully china will move in the direction that we would like to see it go. it is an important nation. india and china, they're going to be countries that we deal very closely with in the coming years. i do not know what more to say about it. they are key. our relationships with both are growing. do we have concerns? yes. they both have concerns with us. it is why we need to work closely and have intensive dialogue with both countries. i think both also realize the importance of the indo-sino relationship. they need to improve that for regional and global security. the second part of your question with regards to -- please refresh my memory. >> a un security seat backs -- sear? -- security seat? >> we will have to see how that goes. i do not know about any announce

it is a war between pakistan and india and we are there to try to defend india from all of the people that are being sent in to cause trouble. we are there to protect them both, i do not know how we are going to do that. they both have nuclear weapons, so i guess we are kind of screwed. as far as troops, i do not think that the president should be sending any more. we should allow them to fight it out. it is their civil war and we should allow them to fight their own situation. it is not worth our troops a dying, we have lost enough and given enough. my question is, should we not be talking to the president about getting out of there? guest: i do not think that he is going to call to talk to me about it. whether we should get out or not, i tend to think we have done about as much as we can achieve over there. but you cannot just leave. some sort of phased withdrawal is in the cards at some point. most likely because of the politics we are going to see something of an escalation, i would be very surprised if he throws us a curve ball other than that. i think that we will start on the r

india wants more influence in afghanistan. you talked about the apples, 12 tons coming back the other way. pakistan on the other hand remains suspicious of indian hegemony. they talk about putting afghan out of indian reach. how can the u.s. balance the interests of these two key partner, one of which is the key partner in the war on terror? >> first of all, all americans, and everyone here is just delighted that the first state visit of this administration is india. no one in pakistan or any other country should read this in any way as a comminution -- diminution of their importance. someone has to have the first trip, but -- it used to be european allies. they come for informal trips. a state dinner is a big event. president obama thought this was the way to go. it should not be read as a diminution. we seek to improve our relations with pakistan. we seek to improve our relations with china. we seek to improve our relations with india. this is not a zero-sum game. every country benefits from improvement in the area. i'm not

india. what happens in afghanistan will affect the future of pakistan. i'm going under the premise that afghanistan is just like vietnam. it is a loser. it is already owned by the taliban. according to mr. singh, he said afghanistan is a friend of india. he announced to the world yesterday. he's in a no-win situation. host: that is peter in philadelphia. next caller in phoenix, good morning to you. caller: i think this whole war is a big mistake. host: why is that? caller: we're in a no-win situation going into afghanistan. the soviets with in there, and the afghanis ran them out of theire. is a no-win situation. we are going to send in 30,000 troops to get slaughtered? it does not make any sense. host: "usa today" leads on a public opinion poll on the war. susan page has written the story. host host: next telephone call is from clearwater, fla. on the democrats' line. caller: i say we should absolutely get out now. afghanistan is nothing more than a graveyard of empires. we have these terri

if you look at the major powers like china, russia, and india, in order to get to where they are perched american power, long before they get to the point, they will get to those around them that have, as geography has it, some other part to look for for assistance. so as china grows bigger and stronger, it is not surprising that we find greater eagerness or more american involvement in the region, not less. and i think although our west european friends are in different, our eastern friends are not, so there is a natural checking mechanism. it does not have to work, but it is something that other powers have to overcome that we do not have to. so that is a natural thing. i continue to believe that we're the most dynamic economy even as we are going for doldrums, and it is up to other people in the panel to say whether something we're doing now is fundamentally changed that dynamism to the time where we can no longer be dynamic, but our ability to adapt historically to changing circumstances has been greater than those of other countries. i am not persuaded that is no longer the case. fi

it does not include india and the rest of the pacific rim. we will not have one single job left if we do not have a change in these policies. hopefully, you can look up the new view and to the model that was put together in the 1700's, it does not work. it is not a factual in comparing third world countries to first world countries. guest: i am not familiar with that, but it is something that may have relevance. when you talk about the work force in china or the work force in india, as the all know, the quality of life and standard of living here verses other countries, there is a significant difference. you also have to take into account things such as the epa and other things that impact the cost of doing business here. i am not a lawyer with the model that you talked about, but it may have relevance as to continue these discussions. host: in dayton, ohio, and one on the democrats' line. caller: i grew up in youngstown, ohio. i went to high school there for two years. i remember youngstown as being a beautiful, environmental city. i used to

nevertheless, india and china have lifted about a half of a billion people out of poverty in the last couple of decades by experimenting with this. the with the flow of capital, and with the notion that we have the rule of law. all the bill should be underlaid by a value system. one has written that our economic system and our political system should be underlaid by a value system, namely the judeo-christian ethic that gives courage to politicians to do the right things, which they are increasingly not doing, and secondly gives conscious to those in corporate america that understand that greed is not good. that movie was wrong when the man said greed is good. it is not good. in it doublets of the word describes an evil. profit come up positive. greed, not good. that value system is so important to a free society, and when you walk through the buildings and you see washington and jefferson and madison, they understood it prett. what threatens us? government growing so fast and so big that it has the ability to get in the way and crushed the small businesses in this country, the lifeblo
