Question: Hello. Greetings from Diego in Argentina. Lyn, I'd like to ask you: You spoke of forcing a bankruptcy of the system. What is our role as Ibero-American youth to achieve this end? Thank you.

LaRouche: Well, you're with me! Whatever I do, belongs to you, and whatever you need, I include in my responsibilities, as a U.S. citizen, and a citizen of influence. If there's any injustice in the world, any problem that needs to be addressed in any part of the world, the United States, at least its leadership, is responsible for taking cognizance of that problem, and working with other nations to solve these problems, wherever they occur.

Not, in the sense of an empire, but in the sense of concern. If we have great power--the very fact that you have great power--for example: If you're the wealthiest man in the community, the very fact that you have wealth, imposes certain responsibilities on you, to use that wealth in ways which are beneficial to the community. If we, as the United States, have great power, it is incumbent upon us to use that power, when that power is needed, to help some other part of the world, that doesn't have the kind of power needed to deal with it.

It is my responsibility, as a candidate to become the President of the United States, under our Constitution, to take cognizance of this--not merely after I'm the President, after I've become a President, but now--in forming the policies around which I campaign, the policies for which I struggle from day to day, now. I take those into account. You are with me; we're in a dialogue, together, about these kinds of problems. You are helping me to understand these problems, as they affect the countries you're immediately involved with. I, in turn, must respond, from my vantage point, as to what I have to say, about the possible remedies for the kind of problems or opportunities you report.
