we made a mistake and the obama years to remake afghanistan. we overreached in retrying -- in trying to remake the middle east in our image. the split between shia and sunni and so forth. we tried to do too much of the wrong thing. i would argue is not that we give up on foreign-policy but we do more in asia. that is where the great powers are and it is where the united states is -- has tools that can do a lot of good. i would rebalance our foreign-policy away from the middle east and stop trying to remake a part of the world coming back to what we were saying about syria that i think is in for a prolonged, difficult era and that will resist the efforts of the u.s. to recast it in our image. tavis: before i come back to the master policy and underperforming at home, i am titillated by your phrase, to remake the world in our own image. i concur with that. i have seen too many examples where we do that. much to our own peril. what is it about us these years later even what we are up against at home and given how we see the world stage being reset

i think we overreached abroad over the last few decades, first in iraq, and then secondly in afghanistan. when we tried to remaining that country. -- remaac that country, and when i watch coverage of sirra, we don't seem to have learned the lesson, and as recently as today in "the new york times" people were saying, it's time to get over iraq. gee, i don't want to get over iraq. i want to learn the lessons of iraq. i want to apply those lessons. so i'm worried that the united states is seriously overreached and aloud foreign policy to get distorted with emphasis on the middle east and remaining the middle east. i do not believe is neither possible nor strategically wise given what we have to do in asia and north america. and i'm also worried about what we are doing and not doing at home. i can't believe any observer of the american political scene would conclude differently. if one looks what we haven't done dealing with the deficit, one looks at the fact we're growing at a rate roughly half the post-world war ii historical average. if any landed ate la guardia or kennedy, rest my case o

here or in any other country including afghanistan iraq or anywhere else the war on terror has always been sold as keeping britain safe but to those who object to the ukase involvement overseas the savage attack and well it merely serves as an example that it may be doing the exact opposite. london. now fresh clashes have erupted in egypt between president morsi backers and his opponents with reports saying a protester has been shot dead in the city of alexandria rival groups are staging rallies they have a massive opposition demonstration on sunday marking the gyptian leader's first year in office the country's politics is currently in deadlock with the opposition refusing islamic leaders call for compromise or us now gets the details from artie's bill troop. so ballots a rapidly developing story here tonight what more can you tells. well basically what we've seen is what normally happens during the kind of attire. support the president. the president. already had dead. i mean these civilian countries are very chaotic people brain works in korea to protest but this is something with

which i keeping troops in afghanistan we haven't cut back on the things that we all found so odious of the bush about the bush administration and obama has added some of his own to drone policy obama had more drone attacks in his first eight months than bush had his entire presidency and these are very very dubious international legality and peters were hopeful in the second term that it would be some more flexibility we hope so there is a system in place that is enormous. the pentagon system. it's very hard to but it almost seems like it took the you know the odious cia policies and just branded them so it's now acceptable to the nations the extrajudicial judge jury executioner of people without due process it's fascinating we complained during the bush years that bush was actually conducting surveillance without judicial review surveillance obama's killing people targeted assassinations without you disha review that the us is obviously much more serious when you look at the survey once a grid in america today it almost seems like it is an open air internment camp where they don't
