Ambassador Kishore Mahbubani in conversation with Vishakha N. Desai on U.S. Policy Towards Asia: An Asian Leader’s Advice for the Next American President.

The next President of the United States will face a much different world than in decades past. The spectacular rise of China and India - economically, politically, militarily, and culturally - are creating new realities across the region that have not yet been fully factored in to America's foreign policy. Many in Asia believe that America's policy leaders have not yet formulated a coherent strategy for how the US should engage with the world's most vibrant and fast growing region.

Please join us as noted foreign policy expert, Ambassador Kishore Mahbubani, shares his "advice" to the next President on US involvement in Asia. - Asia Society

Kishore Mahbubani served as Singapore’'s Ambassador to the United Nations from 1984 to 1989 - and again from 1998 to 2004. In January 2001 and May 2002, he was the President of the U.N. Security Council.

After serving in the Singapore Foreign Ministry for 33 years, Mr. Mahbubani became Dean of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore in August 2004.

Mr. Mahbubani is the author of two books, Can Asians Think? - and the just published Beyond The Age of Innocence: Rebuilding Trust Between America and the World.

Mr. Mahbubani received a Masters degree in Philosophy in 1976 from Dalhousie University, Canada and an honorary doctorate in 1995. He also served as a fellow at the Center for International Affairs at Harvard University from 1991 to 1992 - and received the Foreign Policy Association Medal in New York in June 2004.

True, people are waking up the injustice to Muslims around the world and they are getting tired of it all. People will not sit still for long. Sooner or later the governments will get this message too that the world will no longer take this evil genocide of Muslims

[ALITL8]

Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is TELL THEM THEY ARE BEING ATTACKED, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. IT WORKS THE SAME IN ANY COUNTRY."

What's motivating western states to masscare millions of people across the world and constantly threaten other nations with more attacks and invasions?

Islam is the love !

[RockStudioLive]

@101andrewj I am still waiting for a Muslim to show me where it says anythign about loving non-Muslims in the Koran.

Of course, only Muslim barrows go to Allah's Celstial Whore House. Most Muslimas go to Hell according to Mo. I wonder if they know that?

Ignorance thy name is Muslim!

[101andrewj]

people just interpret the koran any way they want, some use it to love, but most use it as a excuse to justify killing innocents.. according to this muhammad fellow, if you blow yourself into pieces, but you kill 10 cruisaders, aka a white person, you will go 2 a tropical paradice wer u can eat and drink whatever u want, and u get 72 virgin muslims... what a fuckin joke... people who actually believe that should be shot back in time 2000 years or something... comon its the 21st century

[RockStudioLive]

@101andrewj Exactly! Mo would be on death row or strapped to a board and wearing a goalie mask. The miracle of the koran is that one billion idiots believe it. I'm still waiting for a Muslim to show me the verse which commands them to love non-Muslims.

[101andrewj]

@RockStudioLive right... so this mohammad guy says, if you eat pork you will go to hell, if you dont pray, you will go to hell, but if you beat the shit out of your wife, its alright, because women arnt shit... anybody who would listen to the moral teachings of some stupid fuckin caveman from 600ad is a moron... its the 21st century... and if mohammad wer to write his book today, he would simply be thought of as a crazy mad man... so do human kind a favour, and stop believing in fairy tales

[tobleronasahliv]

If you want to prevent homegrown terrorism, don't answer declarations of war and terror attacks, let muslim tyrants do as they please, let iran develop nuclear arms and destroy Israel, and before that let Hamas get arms to Gaza so they can bomb even more.

This muslim is as stupid as every other muslim, he just sound reasonalble in his tone. F*uck him!

[RockStudioLive]

@fedddex I thought Allah was the same as Jehovah? Please quote the Koran to prove you are commanded to love Jews and Christians.
