individual mandate upheld, so ruled the u.s. supreme court on thursday. the individual mandate is the core provision of president obama's overhaul of the healthcare system. the mandate requires that americans must buy health insurance. if they do not, they must pay a tax penalty. in a 5-4 decision with chief justice john roberts writing the majority opinion the court reasoned that congress has the right to impose taxes, and the health mandate can be construed as a tax. quote, because the constitution permits such a tax, it is not our role to forbid it or to pass upon its wisdom or fairness, unquote, so wrote chief justice john roberts. >> question. 26 states have sued the federal government over the healthcare law called the affordable care act. how will this ruling go over with those states and the american people at large in those states? pat buchanan. >> overall, i don't think it's going to go over very well, but john roberts has just given barack obama a signal victory, and he may have given barack obama a second term as president of the united states

the u.s. discussing its presence in iraq removing about a third of its diplomatic stuff but has plans to spend around one hundred million dollars upgrading the fortified embassy in baghdad and former u.s. diplomat jules kenney says this kind of spending damages america's national image while facing tuxpan money to create a contract. it's approaching a billion or maybe over a billion dollars now there was spent on this compound in baghdad for no evident purpose other than perhaps to enrich the contractors. and the politicians who are being paid off but. if someone asked me what is the purpose of this facility i'd have to say well that there really isn't one it's a symbol more of american decline that it is of american power but it's not just about iraq it's about projecting power in the region and you have to ask in the old days american embassies were relatively modest affairs they were open they tried to project a sense of american idealism of democracy and so forth now we're building these e

>> well, if i get to meet you, then i'm gonna encourage you to take a u.s. history course for starters. the problem is that our colleges and our sense of the public sphere are shrinking. colleges and universities are giving increasing weight to the stem fields. science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. they haven't cut out the humanities. i don't want to overstate or say that there's a crisis, necessarily. but there is a sense that university presidents, particularly in state university systems, have to be responsive to state legislatures. and if those state legislatures happen to be republican, there's a lot at stake when it comes to what is the appropriate history lesson to be taught to our children. and i want to point out that in texas, for example, a couple of years ago, there was a move by the then state regents to remove or to lessen -- the state's own history of civil rights activism, both statewide and nationally. they simply removed certain individuals. so cesar chavez got less attention in the textbook. and ronald reagan and others got mo

the fastest-growing major in the u.s. is a physical education. historically, the u.s. puts people in to the new fields, which is big and important figure even now, in terms of educating -- which is big and important. even now, in terms of educating people and relative to asian countries. >> thank you. i will ask the last question. the land grant model is addressing food security and opportunities for economic -- economic opportunities for women in public health. could you spend a few minutes talking about some of the most exciting opportunities that you see for america's universities to be engaged in the kind of work that drives you around the globe? >> i think universities are doing a far better job making their students aware of conditions around the world. when i almost graduated from harvard -- [laughter] i had no sense of living conditions around the world. today, universities have lots of courses and they attempt to get students out there. i think that awareness alone is an extremely valuable thing. i know when the foundation goes out to look for, to work on bett
