Right, Richard Inglewood, I'm a member of the House of Lords in the English Second Chamber.

00:04.900 --> 00:08.480
All kinds of issues have thrown up which people haven't been expecting

00:08.480 --> 00:12.100
and the whole nature of the global economy seems to be changing.

00:12.700 --> 00:17.560
I think it's incredibly important that people try, when they're thinking about their own interests,

00:18.100 --> 00:20.940
to recognise what is important to other people

00:20.940 --> 00:26.020
and to try and accommodate and be tolerant

00:26.020 --> 00:29.920
rather than simply be aggressive all the time.

00:30.960 --> 00:32.080
Easier said than done.

00:32.720 --> 00:37.160
Instead of military interventions, do you think intellectual struggle will be more successful?

00:37.360 --> 00:43.460
Because fanaticism is being learned in the family, during the childhood, even in the schools.

00:44.020 --> 00:45.900
And that passes from generation to generation.

00:46.120 --> 00:50.400
Instead of military intervention, can we educate these people with intellectual struggle

00:50.400 --> 00:52.220
and teach them the right?

00:52.980 --> 00:54.720
Well, it clearly is important to do that.

00:54.720 --> 00:59.620
But you first of all had to be very clear that the way in which you're putting forward the message

00:59.620 --> 01:04.380
you want to get across is compatible with the traditions of the communities in which they're addressed.

01:04.380 --> 01:11.420
Secondly, many regimes won't want exposure to outside views and there are means of blocking that.

01:11.420 --> 01:15.640
And thirdly, it's going to be expensive, but then military intervention is very expensive too.

01:15.640 --> 01:19.560
But I think probably that is the direction in which we've got to go.

01:20.240 --> 01:29.500
But it's difficult because many countries, not only in the Middle East, do not want cultural intervention from outside.

01:29.500 --> 01:35.020
Do you think it's better for Syria, the unity of the Syria, instead of integration of the Syria?

01:35.960 --> 01:38.200
Do you mean the breakup of the Syrian state?

01:38.320 --> 01:38.460
Yeah.

01:38.980 --> 01:44.360
I would be sorry if it happened, but it may be that will be the outcome of what's going on.

01:45.140 --> 01:49.600
There are some things in the nature of events that individuals can't really control.

01:49.600 --> 02:18.120
But it's fine.
