who is an american? how do we sort of coexist in this post war period where the people from that community are by and large marginalized, yet you have this whole kind of other thing happening where it's -- the war has been won, this is like new things, television is happening, advertising, this whole advertising thing is happening. so you have these marginalized peoples and what happens, is it possible to develop a kind of at that moment a cross-cultural community? is it possible to have kind of a multi cultural community that emerged from that moment? and so, in particular, that's what i wanted to explore. and part of the back drop is there was this extraordinary jazz scene happening in that area. there's this wonderful book called fillmore harlem west and also there's several other books that are about that particular era. but that's all happening too, people like billie holiday, count basie, duke ellington, they were all playing in the fillmore district, bop city, plantation club, jack's tavern. that'

writing an african american character. you have to think about, too, this whole idea of political correctness has both an up side and a very bad down side. one of those is people tend to be very cautious and not want to try things like that. i eventually through my relationship with danny glover pulled it out of my drawers -- out of the drawer, desk drawer, and read it and danny was instrumental in saying, let's do this. let's just do this. but, again, it was me working with some african american actors and i actually had it vetted by august wilson, read it and checked it out for me and there's another fellow who wrote soldier's story, charles fuller, took a look at it for me. i wanted to make sure my bases were covered. but this new play, what i did was, i feel comfortable writing the characters, but you are never sure. one thing that happened was steven anthony jones helped me a great deal with the african american character. we took it to sundance and what happens when you go to sundance is you bring some actors and som

when i thought i was always an american? there was a great deal of controversy in the camps and difference of opinion. so my character is one of those individuals who signed no, no. that's a form of protest. and because of doing that, he is taken out of the camp that he's in and sent to tule lake where most of the troublemakers were sent. then he gets out of camp and he comes back to san francisco and what happened in the japanese american communities is that many of the young men signed yes yes. many of them went off to war and became part of the 442nd, the 100th battalion, the mis, military intelligence, and were extraordinarily heroic and died in very high casualty rates in europe. and so when chet comes back to san francisco, those people who signed no no were looked upon as cowards. they were traitors. they sat out the war where these other people died. everyone a friend, an uncle or somebody they knew who had died, lost an arm, or was killed in service. chet comes back and he is literally spit on by his own community.

there was a lot of drug use there was a lot of murder of american officers by american soldiers there were a lot of units who refuse orders to go out and buy they said no we're not going to fight. in the united states meanwhile the movement against the war in vietnam was gathering steam. there were mass protests antiwar rallies and the famed march on the pentagon organized by peace activists. later many vietnam war veterans joined the protests themselves former fighters would drop the medals they'd been awarded in vietnam in front of the u.s. congress. before the war i always thought i wanted to win a lot of medals i wanted to have a lot of decorations but afterwards i realized that they they don't mean anything they're not that important. i don't i don't i never kept the medal i never. i never did anything about it coochie is a district twenty kilometers from hoochie minh city formerly known as saigon ex marine greg played in. a former vietnamese guerilla. nearly forty years ago they were bitter adversaries fighting each other below them lie two hundred fifty kilometers of undergroun

we will work hard every day to empower the american people to restore the birthright of american freedom the generations of americans have always passed on to their children. as our republican renaissance unfold we must once again we afford to the american people that our government should be lited, so that it never becomes powerful enough to strip that freedom away from them. if that taxes should be kept low, so that individuals can create what they want for their prosperity. what -- so that economic prosperity lies with the people, not with barack obama, and not with nancy pelosi, and not with harry reid. we can't do it, because we have done i before. when generation ago, ronald reagan had the audacity, not just to hope, but to get off of the golf course, and do the hard work to turour country around, insist on america's greatness, and to nev, never apologized for her greatness. never.

americans will get hit with the largest tax increase in american history, including on dividends and capital gains, and on individual income which affects the small business owners who are responsible for hiring two thirds of the new jobs coming out of a recession. >> tim kaine, i want to go back to you, because harry reid said the other day he cannot imagine why any hispanic would want to vote for republicans, after all of this controversy about immigration has come about. is that overstating the case, or do you think he is making a good point? >> i think senator reid was making a point that the republican policies, which are so anti-new american, even to the point of shredding up the 14th amendment that was... that's still advertised on the rnc web page, is chasing new americans, not just latinos, into the democratic camp. this is party whose leaders won't even sit down to discuss immigration reform. and yet, they think that doing a political stunt like talking about amending the constitution makes sense. these are key leaders in the party. i think the immigration issue will be an

african-americans and asian- americans. do you novak when the agent exclusion act, the chinese exclusion act was before congress in 1870, the first national leader to speak out against that was frederick douglass. the same man who fought against slavery. do you know that when the chinese exclusion act was voted on in congress, there was one black senator named blanche bruce, the only african-american in the u.s. senate, voted against it. similarly, we work side-by-side for semel -- civil rights and improve public education. in '86, and laundry owner sued the san francisco board of supervisors for a racially discriminatory law, and it brought equal protection to minorities, and that overturned the 1857 dread scott case, which held that minorities were not protected by the u.s. constitution. we have the landmark case of brown harris is board of education, 1954, to thank for equality in education. -- brown v. board of education. seven years later, the chinese community here worked shoulder to shoulder with the african- america

the retreating american troops leave behind a country where stability remains an elusive dream. >> american has withdrawn its combat troops, saying it has with -- it has achieved its goal of bringing democracy to the country. for some analysis, we spoke to our middle east analyst. we first asked him what state iraq is in today. >> i think iraq finds itself in a difficult situation. it is far from being a democratic state. there were elections have a year ago for the parliament. today, there is no government available, because the different factions cannot really agree upon the new head of government. the situation is very complex. i do not think the invasion has tackled the major issues. it was very positive that saddam hussein was toppled, but the situation that has developed since then has not solved all problems, but has created new ones that are very complex. the basic issue at stake is the fact that there has been a central government since saddam hussein who could control this huge country, which is more and more falling apart, at dividing along ethnic or religious lines. >> 50,000 u.

and how would you assess it you once wrote with the politics of latin american countries. so you i believe the situation in latin america makes the was a dialogue different from what it was before the bush era but u.s. policy hasn't been modified and i'd say when you have a new dialogue based on objective reality of latin america and china dive into bargo for president obama said he wanted our relations to be based on mutual respect. but how can anyone explain u.s. involvement in the coup on him douras just a few months later and how can we explain the fact that the us was fighting to recognize the hundred m. government of what is the only thing we see is that the us hasn't she. the world is changing the us isn't this isn't a problem just for latin america but rather for their entire world and this country has military and economic power and at the same time it's not changing its expansionary and imperialist policy but i think that really. means changes happened only and was not. that's right they carry on the same policy as always and so they've been acting just like in t

americans for prosperity is not interested in american prosperity. they are interested in the prosperity of corporations and individuals who benefited greatly from the bush ecomic agenda. we believe the voters need to ask themselves tt question and calling upon these groups that are on the air to tell them who is paying for these ads, why are they running these ads supporting these republican candidates? these groups are not interesd in charity. they are interested in repuican candidates who will support their economic special interests. >> i think we have no more questions. is there anything else you would like to add? >> thank you all for being here. it looks like everyone -- the congress will reconvene soon. having spoken with our members around the country, who are actively engaged every day with their constituents, that they are encouraged by the fact that americans are an optimistic people. one thing americans always want to do is move forward. americans do not want to go back and they don't wa to go back to the kind of policies that got us int

-- myself as an american muslims, an african-american muslim-- i fully identify with being american and being muslim. at one point is the historical depths of the global depths. second is the diversity of the population and the number. muslims are one quarter of the world population today. one in every four persons is a muslim. there are more than 40 countries where muslims are the pre-dominant majority of the population. now, is what is being said about the muslims true about muslims historically or is it something that came up over the last five or ten years. >> ifill: the answer? >> it is true about muslims globally but not historical islam and not true about contemporary islam. >> may i weigh in here a second? >> ifill: please. >> i think two things. in terms of all muslims being measured by the acts of terrorism that we've seen by people claiming to be muslims , it leaves a very wrong perception in people's minds. >> ifill: what do you mean by claiming? i'm sorry. what do you mean by claiming? >> because i think that some of the terror that we have seen has come from political goal

we have pulled not only arab- americans and muslim-americans, but also ethnic americans such as irish-americans. i put it together in a book a few years ago. we learned about the diversity of the committee of muslim- americans. the single largest group is probably african-american. next,arab-american and south asian-americans, but growing numbers of those from african countries, and from iran. each as you meet them remind you of the emigrant story of every other group that has come in terms of values and aspirations. you talk to the guy who has a big job, but also has a nice job, and has three kids, and will tell you with enormous pride of what they're doing in college. that comes through in the polling that we have done. what we learn is the values of muslims in america track closely the values of other ethnic americans, particularly catholics. like catholics, they lean progressive on a number of fiscal issues. for example, supporting health care or strengthening social security, or school funding, or funding to clean the environment. but then they lean conservative on social issues, like fami

policies around middle east they do not represent american interests or american values they seem to represent what a certain faction with very close ties to israel wants u.s. policies to be and this kind of manipulation the american media is very disturbing in some ways it's not surprising to me i have done my own studies and found how extreme the israelis centric the coverage is that we're getting but the specifics that this has revealed are extremely important and very troubling i think is really lobby is very central to the whole ball of a legend war on terrorism i think they're very complicit in the coverage of muslims and arabs that make them seem dangerous that make them seem alien to americans i think that the israel lobby is pushing them and it says very sadly part of their agenda i feel and this is supported by the facts instead of their agenda is to make americans fear and hate arabs and muslims and also i fear to me muslims and arabs fear and hate americans. this is very troubling and it's. going on a variety. russian president dmitri medvedev has a said that those behind

there was a lot of drug abuse there was a lot of murder of american officers by american soldiers there were a lot of stories. about it by. the rules of war i always thought i wanted to limit a lot of messages and they do have a lot of decorations but afterwards i realize that they they don't mean anything they're not that important. i don't i don't i never kept the medal. from the russian capital twenty four hours a day this is the tell me with this top stories now within with the number of drug test deaths rising in india human rights activists accused companies of using the country's citizens as guinea pigs for illegal experiments. documents of uncovered israel's current budget attempts at shaping the u.s. and policies in the middle east. the last u.s. combat brigade pulls out of iraq two weeks ahead of leaving behind a month's contingent to train security forces and protect the people. it's fifty years since two dogs from the soviet union became the first living creatures to survive space travel making history and paving the way for a future exploration. chief inspectors to pull off
