1:31 am
a second greek bailout after the austerity measures the e.u. demanded of athens to secure the package sparked riots in the debt stricken country up next we sit down to discuss the syrian conflict with former u.s. presidential advisor pat buchanan stay with us. i'm sitting down with patrick buchanan senior adviser to presidents which mixing gerald ford and ronald reagan he ran for the presidency three times he wrote many books and some of his books have really manage seeing titles his latest book is called suicide of a superpower will america survive to twenty twenty five very pessimistic sir all first of all thank you very much for joining me thank you with regards to foreign policy you're saying one of the ways to prevent that suicide from happening is to dismantle the empire first thought would do you mean by empire or you might call it the american imperium or the american empire. the united states has military bases
1:32 am
dating back to the cold war in europe and asia the middle east africa all over the world and we're running a deficit of ten percent of our gross national product and quite frankly we can't afford any longer in my judgment to continue to carry this enormous burden of defending forty or fifty countries around the world and so i think we're going to have to dismantle these bases we're going to have to return back from asia come back from other middle east and south asia and i think we'll have to bring the troops home from europe you were writing and speaking out extensively about the bush era in iraq crusade under the banner of ending terror name in the world do you think that crusade is still long or the idea that we're going to end tyranny in the world is utterly utopian we never are we've had tyrants from time immemorial and what the united states should do in my judgment in its foreign policies is
1:33 am
build a defense establishment strong enough to protect our vital interests and our vital allies and when problems arise whether it's in zimbabwe or somewhere else the people there have got to deal with their own prob. there's no doubt about it that throughout history tyrants have arisen and seized power in one place or another and as long as they don't threaten our vital interests or threaten and kill our people the fact that they rule and or misrule certain countries is none of our business while some of bin laden successor said he supports the war against us and sorry i am and it was for quite a leap behind the four suicide bombings which killed scores of syrian officials and soldier seen damascus and aleppo aleppo doesn't it seem strange that the us is on the same side with the whole kiting syria well it did it it does indeed listen the
1:34 am
the outside government has been has been ruthless and brutal and suppressing the uprising and the insurgency against it not as brutal as his father was tough as a last sod who slaughtered twenty thousand people in hama in one thousand nine hundred two and they rose up and it would probably be a good thing if he departed and they had a more democratic government but your point is well taken the united states should ask itself not only what is the character of this regime but the first question should be do we have a vital interest in who rule syria my answer to that is no secondly if the incumbent government is overthrown who comes to power and syria you have the muslim brotherhood is trying to overthrow assad you have al-qaeda apparently which is moving in trying to overthrow assad so we've got to ask ourselves is the devil we know preferable to the devil we don't know but in the syrian situation i think the
1:35 am
very fact that al qaeda has been involved apparently indeed for suicide attacks should tell us that we ought to be wary about overthrowing all. or participating in a movement to overthrow assad before we know what's going to replace him as you said it's very hard to tell what's going to happen to syria if more radical forces seize power do you think the u.s. foreign policy might be helping terrorists indirectly i think the united states. american strategists would have to be fools not to see what al-qaeda is doing not to ask the question if it's good for al qaeda can it be good for us and not to look at us saad and say he may be a ruthless dictator and what he's doing but what comes after him when he falls i think al qaeda does its best work or it works best when it finds
1:36 am
a country that is fundamentally a failed state in yemen somalia afghanistan under the taliban and i think in those conditions that's where al qaida can plan and recruit far better than it can when you have a a regime which is a hard line regime running the situation whether it's secular or whether syria torn apart by civil war and that that's it seems like a good environment for that i think i think that seriously. syria is really a potential disaster in that we could have there are a proxy war between the sunni and shia all over that region there already have sunni coming in from iraq they already have al qaida in there apparently. you could have also a conflict ethnic conflict with the druze in there and the kurds in there as well as arabs in there i think this is why i'm against plunge putting weapons in and
1:37 am
aiding the anti assad resistance because an all out war there could be a disaster which leaves a failed state in syria so what about this strategy that the u.s. is now pursuing putting pressure on assad alone. and not addressing the armed groups the fighting armed groups among the opposition as well well i think that's basically the united states has taken sides in this war we've taken sides there just like we've taken sides in libya what should or what should not the u.s. do here and syria. my policy would be if i were and if i were in the white house would be by and large hands off syria in one of your articles you argue that the obama administration doesn't want to war with iran the pentagon u.s. intelligence community they're saying iran does not having a clear bomb and hasn't decided whether or not to build
1:38 am
a nuclear bomb iran is obviously getting nothing from a war if nobody wants it then why the drums of war why are they so loud there are people that want to war. i mean you know i think no one wants war you don't have wars unless someone wants it and quite clearly the israeli government would like to see the united states smash iran's nuclear program which they think is creating the conditions where iran could with one leap forward get a bomb the israeli lobby in the united states would like to see where they support the israeli guy the neoconservatives do many republicans do there are many americans who genuinely believe that if iran they believe iran is moving toward a weapon and if it is they would favor military action to prevent it there are a number of people that want a war and if there are really vital threat coming from you i don't you see i don't
1:39 am
know i don't look iran is not iraq i mean during the cold war with due respect soviet union had thousands of weapons they could have destroyed us in an afternoon and we could have done the same thing i was around during the cuban missile crisis that was genuinely term fine but iran doesn't frighten me and i don't think it should frighten the american people they don't have a bomb they don't have they haven't made a decision to bill one didn't have the means to deliver one and the israelis have three hundred atomic bombs i mean who presents the existential threat to whom the last they would was i visited one of my doctors and we were talking about i hope we don't have a war in iran but now they're talking about an intervention in syria and he said thank god for the russians they've got some ships out there and the americans won't fool around with the russian ships so the russians are keeping us out and that's wonderful. that's one of my doctors but i think that's that's what the american
1:40 am
public thinks i don't think any american wants to intervene in syria they don't understand anything about it iran though they got the ayatollah and they got him out in the job. and he will always help out the hawks with some insane statement every couple of months he's going to destroy somebody or other and then the americans say we have to get him or what is the danger of such rhetoric the danger of such rhetoric is that it leads to another war in the middle east which i think would be a disaster for my country and i think it would be a disaster for the world economy and other could be a disaster for the world you know i opposed desert storm back in one nine hundred ninety one i opposed even going in and clean and said i'm hussein out of kuwait because i said this will only be the first arab american war. and i was right i mean if you talk about islamic wars you had the war desert storm you had the war
1:41 am
against afghanistan you got the war in iraq and the war in libya now they're talking about syria and now they're talking about iran of what benefit has this been to the united states when you see where we were in one thousand nine hundred and where we are today and where china was in one thousand nine hundred and where china is today and i'm going into any of these countries haven't invaded anybody and they're moving upward as brazil and as our india and what do we do on an all these places i don't think we can you can't replicate the middle west in the middle east thank you you thank .
