there was internal to show restraint in hadley handling the protests and that's about it no more of that epic coverage of democracy democracy in making kind of things something that we saw a little more than a week ago when obama delivered all these passionate speeches on people of egypt making their voice heard and embracing democracy there is no more of that now with the exception if you ran of course the u.s. history or anything that's against the ukrainian leadership but the situation in some other countries has to have spiraled out of control with egypt analysts say it was easier and safer for the u.s. to root for democracy and support the people because there is the army there which is very powerful and is largely financed by the united states and is now in control of egypt but you know other countries in libya for example the u.s. doesn't have that same leverage so they are much more cautious calling for democracy in those countries i spoke to some experts here they say washington's biggest fear is that those operas in the region could bring about leaders who will be hostile to the united states and many analysts and only say for the u.s. is not really about supporting democracy in those countries it's about securing

their interests just two months ago secretary of state hillary clinton pronounced herself very impressed by the progress that bahrain is making on all fronts she said that's quote there seems to be a strong. broadly held commitment to democracy. that was that was before pro-democracy demonstrators filled the streets and the government responded with deadly force it leave you to experts say the u.s. would so much rather have things as they were warmer cut off he was never their favorite leader that's what for about some seven years ago he reached to open up a levy is all riches to the west and to let them invest in oil production so they kind of left him a little but now with protest spreading like wire wildfires across the region the u.s. seems to to have little control over what's going to happen next year as the region becomes increasingly unstable the price of oil spikes on global markets it is now at its highest level since before the two thousand and eight financial crisis libya where protests are much more violent than they were in egypt or any. all is now as

the richest proven oil reserves in africa it is the twelfth largest oil exporter in the world and it threatens to disrupt supplies i mean all these protests not only that but there are questions as to who will control the suez canal a major oil shipping lane americans have their fleet in bahrain to patrol the canal and keep an eye on iran but bahrain is now in deep crisis and nobody knows what's going to happen so the u.s. might be losing control there experts say if the on rescue teams and the crude oil prices keep flowing as they are now the u.s. is going to be hit really badly especially now that it's struggling to climb out of recession there are there are reports that a number of western oil corporations might temporarily gain from this spike in oil prices but the political unrest in the region makes it all too unpredictable. director of middle east projects at george mason university says the use of air power won't save the libyan dictator from being toppled. the mistake he did is he do experience of what happened in tunisia and in egypt then he thought that they
6:03 pm
didn't use enough force and he thought if i cracked down with more force and kill more people then i have more chance of succeeding than what we see is the exact opposite he's only making it faster for him to end up leaving power the us has been taken out weeks and through the whole process of from tunisia to egypt now to bahrain which it's almost been silent on to libya and it's been taken that week stand because it's afraid that the fall of the reason in libya will create more revolt in other arab countries we've seen because of tunisia a few more revolts and because of egypt many more have been protesting in other arab countries and assumption is the flippy of falls then in new countries that we haven't been expecting to have but this will also start protesting but they also look at the short term of their interests then they look at the oil and libya as a very important oil exporter and so this will and will in the short term effect the sale prices of oil in the united states. major powers are proposing more

financial assistance to north african countries amid the wave of revolts in the region but artie's financial guru max kaiser says the union doesn't have the money to help its own members let alone nations outside the block they can print more money but as they print money it drives the cost of food on the futures market precious metals higher they're just exacerbating the problem because they have no actual physical cash they just print debt which makes the price of food go higher so the best thing the e.u. could do is shut up and not do a thing because they're just making the situation worse they they they're completely corrupt they have absolutely no ability to assist whatsoever because they have no money and they keep printing fake money which is driving the price of food higher which is causing more revolution u.s. military strategist and historian edward luttwak says the people may want change in the middle east but he believes the foundations for democracy aren't yet fully established. democracy is not something you can buy in

6:09 pm
cemeteries of course it's hard to find ours when you need to take back certain property but i hope people will understand and justice will be done a short distance from the capital is the forest where thousands of jews were executed it serves as a poignant memorial to those who lost their lives but in central riga there are equally chilling monuments to the holocaust like this synagogue which was burned to the ground with worshipers still inside over sixty five years after the end of the second world war the burnt out shell of this synagogue serves as a reminder to the tensions that still bubble between the local jewish community and those latvians that consider. troops being heroes well while the government continues to draw most of it's a pulled from nationalist organizations a resolution to this conflict seems a long way off. remember you can always find much more information at
