President Bush and the U.N. have been vocally at odds over the past four years. But in his speech today to the United Nations General Assembly, the president stressed the need for cooperation between the U.N. and the U.S.

Hear about Bush’s speech and his relationship with the international community.

Guests:

Lee Feinstein, senior fellow, U.S. Foreign Policy, and Deputy Director of Studies, Council on Foreign Relations

Shibley Telhami, Anwar Sadat Professor for Peace and Development at the University of Maryland, College Park
