Addressing the Role of the United States in World Affairs ----------------from the link: The leadership of the United States has been challenged by many, both for its sporadic adherence to international treaties and its inability to win peace in the Middle East and Central Asia. 1) Should any changes be expected from the newly-elected Administration? 2) Can other powers, notably Europe, play a balancing role vis-à-vis the US? Joseph R. Biden, Senator from Delaware (Democrat), USA [SENATOR DODD IS A PANEL MEMBER RATHER THAN BIDEN - WHO IS NOT THERE ALSO RICHARD HAASS - COUNCIL OF FOREIGN RELATIONS IS PRESENT] Bernard Guetta, Editorialist, L'Express, France Inter, France James A. Leach, Congressman from Iowa (Republican), USA Ahmed M. Al Sheikh, Editor-in-Chief, Al Jazeera Satellite Channel, Qatar Daniel Vasella, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Novartis, Switzerland Bärbel Wartenberg-Potter, Bishop of the Northelbian Evangelical Church, Germany Moderated by Jim Bittermann, Senior Correspondent, CNN International, France ============================= [a worthwhile(IMHO) 1 hr and 30 min of a webcast from Davos which has some good interaction and exchanges of the panel-- particularly from Haass and surprisingly (to me) from Mr.Vasella- (he gets pointedly ask to give his personal opinion about the state of the world and being in his home turf he does and its good, almost the very end). Bittermann asks slanted questions, nothing neutral about him as a moderator.... Leach gives rationals that are meant not to inflame. Some good stuff from and to Sen Dodd's credit he believes in America and stands up for her.-- at the end of the broadcast. The lady preacher says no war but does not offer solutions, typical mix of religion and politics. Al Sheikh believes he thinks he works for FOX- balanced, we report you decide and doesn't want Islam to be featured in discussions- typical misguided-propaganda that I believe he believes. Guetta is French, nothing else to say. clients.world-television.com ================================ There is a reference to journalists to Al Sheikh that Bittermann 'just' heard-- don't know if that is the Eason Jordan talk. Here is the link to all the webcasts and its surprising that Eason Jordan's is the only thing not broadcasted. clients.world-television.com
