i'm fareed zakaria in istanbul, turkey. if you cross behind me and went a few hundred miles, you'd be in syria. if you went through the other way you would reach the mediterranean where u.s. warships are at the ready for possible orders to launch missiles at syria. and that's where we'll focus the show today on president obama's dual decisions announced saturday, that the united states should take military action, but that he would seek congress' approval first. we'll start the show with big minds in foreign policies. whether those decisions were right for america and the world. then to politics. the british parliament decided against military action in syria. will the u.s. congress do the same thing? and i'm in the region, so we'll take the pulse of it. what is actually going on inside syria? and is it now a regional war? but first here's my take. last march, president obama spoke off the cuff about how syria's use of chemical weapons would be a game changer. it has turned out to be, except not quite in the sense that he m

i'm fareed zakaria. we have a very important show with two presidents and iran's only jewish member of parliament. we'll start with an exclusive interview with the national security adviser, susan rice, on iran, syria, the middle east and more. >>> then the terror attack in kenya, somalia terror-based group carried it out. i'll talk to that country's president who says al shabaab is not just a threat to somalia or kenya, but the entire world. i will talk to president ghoul of turkey, which is, of course, syria's neighbor. in iran's delegation to the u.n. was the only jewish member of parliament. we tracked him down and i talked to him. but before we get to all that, hew eris my take. hassan rowhani presents himself as a striking contrast to his predecessor. for the past year, the president of iran has held a breakfast meeting with a small group of journalists. in recent years that had become a depressing routine. mahmoud ahmadinejad would saunter in, deny the holocaust and taunt us, his invited guests. r

>> fareed, i fall on the other side of the spectrum. the commander in chief power is in our executive and putting aside for a moment whether or not strikes on syria would be a prudent thing to do, i believe that the president does have the authority to have such strikes without going to congress, without going to the united nations, without going to anyone else. there could be political and diplomatic ramifications for doing so but the authority is there and it must rest there. now, congress has checks on that ability. they can decide not to declare war, they can decide not to fund a war but the ability for the executive to have the power to act quickly, to secure our national interests, to defend ourselves and in the case of syria, if strikes are done, to eradicate the ability to fire off chemical weapons is something that the executive power has to have without seeking authority from some other source. >> do you think, steven, that he has weakened presidential power by setting the precedent that seems to suggest that he needs to go to

basically, fareed, the system did work. the bottom line to that and this may sound incredibly naive on my part, but is a genuine willingness on the part of those being inspected to cooperate. now, that might sound a bit funny and a bit naive. we had that willingness from the iraqi side for quite a while and then they started to withdraw it. i'll make this point right here and now. this can work. what the russians have proposed. syrians said they will agree to. it can work provided the system of the kind i described is put in place. above all, provided the syrians are prepared to want and act to make it work. cooperation. then it can be done. if they play a show game, this won't be achieved. >> that's the million dollar question. richard butler, pleasure to have you on. >> thank you very much. >>> up next, what in the world, what is syria any way? before we attack a country, we decided it's worth being able to answer that question. when we come back. i am today by luck. i put in the hours and built a strong reputation in the

fareed zakaria is the host of cnn's "fareed zakaria gps." fareed, thanks for being here. the president's former defense secretary, leon panetta wrote recently in an op-ed, "u.s. citizens will lose trust in our system of governing and the world will view the united states as less able to back its word with power." how much does this internal -- eternal/internal struggle in washington damage us in the eyes of the world? >> i think it does. right now, we don't have a competitor, and so it seems as though we can careen from crisis from crisis, and there doesn't seem to be much of a price to pay. the american economy, the recovery is continuing. but there are two areas. first is the credibility of american government. we benefit enormously from the fact that the dollar is the reserve currency of the world and our treasury bills are the reserve investments of the world. if that changes, if people start worrying about getting repaid, as they shouldn't, frankly, worry, given what we're doing, that would change things dramatically. it raises huge costs for the united states. the s

let me go to you, first, fareed. it certainly sounds like the secretary is saying that even if congress votes no, the president would use some type of military force against assad. do you think that's a wise decision? >> i think the decision-making has been so confused and muddled, that it's difficult to put the word wise in front of anything they're doing right now. the administration has hesitated between nonintervention and intervention, and it is caught between those two. for a long time, president obama had explained in a very disciplined way that this was a messy internal civil war and the united states couldn't do much to affect it. but now, all of a sudden, this is huge implications for american interests spanning north korea, iran, the entire credibility of the united states. so then, why are we talking about two days of strikes? and you see the same tension, the same confusion in this whole issue of congress. as you say. if this is as massive an important of violation of international law, standards, decenc

and the only reason we're number one is because our fairs -- fares are so low. if you taking ancillary fees ace a part of the ticket price, when the ticket price is low, that makes the percentage high. you want that number to be 100%. that would mean the ticket would be free and everything else is just a choice you make. >> neil: that wasn't what i asked. i'm curious, how do i, the customer, get that base -- i don't have to worry -- you have outrageously low fares. how die get joest those fares and not feed up the-in yang. >> you bring less and pay less. so fit it in a size under your feet and you'll pay less, and then self-serve where you can. so print your own boarding pass. on your own pc, or from a kiosk, and buy it online, and eat something before you get on the plain, and if you do self-service, you can fly for really cheap. our average fair in the second quarter was $77, and fly for that rate, and don't pay the extras, if you can just deal with it. self-serve and bring less with you. >> the kiosk thing, you're not charging extra to use the kiosk. >> no, w

here with some perspective, fareed zakaria and douglas brinkley. fareed, let me start with you. you heard the president bring up world war ii, the bombings on london that happened before the u.s. entered into the war. you heard secretary of state bring up hitler in much more direct ways, and nazi germany in much more direct ways. are these apt comparisons, do you think? >> no, they are not apt to begin with. let's just remember our history. adolf hitler controlled the largest army in the world in 1938 when the munich accord was signed, second richest or third richest country in the world and had a plan to conquer all of europe, perhaps all of the world. assad runs one of the poorest countries in the world, miserable conditions, is desperately trying to stay in charge of his own little misbegotten country but more importantly, the mistake here is that there is a vast divergence developing between the rhetoric the president is using, john kerry is using, and what we're proposing. so if indeed this is like world war ii, if this is like munich, if this is all about stopping adolf hi

joining us now, fareed zakaria. also joining us, sebastian junger, the author of the important book "war." sebastian, you wrote a very provocative, important article in the "washington post." let me read a sentence or two from it. referring to syria, at some point passivism becomes part of the machinery of death and isolationist becomes a form of genocide. it's not a matter of how we're going to explain this to the syrians. it's a matter of how we're going to explain this to our kids. you're saying that war actually may be the answer to what's going on in syria right now. explain. >> my first war was in bosnia and every war i've covered since then has been ended or drastically reduced by u.s. military action, by nato military action. i think a true anti-war position doesn't just mean ignoring a civil war like we did in rwanda. it means eventually after all diplomatic efforts have failed to use military threat and eventually military action. in bosnia, a two-week nato campaign ended a genocide. amazingly, in the unit

i'm fareed zakaria. we have a very special show for you today. an exclusive interview with bill clinton. on the plan to rid syria of its chemical weapons -- >> who cares how it came up? >> on president obama asking congress to approve a syrian strike. >> i don't think he had to go. >> on america's duelling political parties. >> i think it is still a noble calling. >> plus a european country where unemployment is at a 20-year low and the stock market is hitting reported highs. this is not fiction, this is not monaco, i will explain where this is. and the symbolism of the one fingered salute is understood around the world. but there's a new sign in egypt, the four fingered salute. >>> here's my take, when the obama was selling it's case for military action against syria, it used every argument it could come up with, from preserving international norms to preventing another holocaust. one could have dangerous consequences for american foreign policy. chuck hagel asserted in some way that we had to act militarily in syria to preserve u.s. credibility

our troops will face the possibility of chemical war fare on the battle field. if fighting spills beyond syria's borders it could threaten turkey, jordan and israel. it weakens prohibition against others. they must decide whether to ignore international law or take a more peaceful path. this is not a world we should accept. this is what's at stake. that is why, after careful deliberation, i determined that it is in the national security interest of the united states to respond to the use of the chemical weapons with a military strike t.purpose is to deter them from use the chemical weapons and to make clear to the world that we will not tolerate their use. that's my judgement as commander in chief. i'm also president of the world's oldest constitutional democracy. i possess the authority to order the strike but i believed it was right to take this debate to congress. i believe your democracy is stronger when the president acts with the support of congress. i believe america acts for effectively abroad when we stand together. this puts more and more burdens on th

fareed zakaria joining me from host, host of fareed zakaria gps. and journalist robert pelton, author of "the world's most dangerous places." robert, welcome back to you. and fareed, we have john kerry and he's saying, hey, listen, the threat we made. it's actually the thing that forced syria to agree to these talks to begin with. and then you have the russians saying, get the threat off the table right now. my question to you is, are these negotiating tactics or is this a disagreement that could end the talks really before they even get started? >> it's unlikely to end the talks before they get started. but i think that it reflects the very different way in which both sides are viewing this. i think the united states is viewing this as an opportunity to actually achieve what even missile strikes or air strikes would not have achieved, which is the destruction of some part of assad's chemical weapons arsenal. remember, air strikes would not actually destroy the chemical weapons because you don't strike the chemical weapons. you strike at various mi
