if you need some from friends to. start some tea don't come. six thirty pm in moscow these are headlines media reporting from libya excuse of glowing the rest out of proportion to get headlines conflicting reports of who's in control of different cities and the number of casualties from the country suggests the truth is still hidden from view. i mean fears of military intervention from abroad experts say foreign interference in libya is already happening get off these multibillion dollar foreign assets are frozen in an off and on in an often used political tool of western powers looking to protect interests in the region. and

the massive influx of illegal immigrants from violence toward the arab countries fueling anti muslim sentiment in european states taking them in germany's new interior minister has become the latest politician to enter the immigration debate he says is a lot of them does not belong in europe. up next starkey sophie shevardnadze is joined by two leading world affairs academics for a look at what the future may hold for a troubled libya and its neighbors and why foreign nations should keep out interviews coming up next. stephen carter it's really good to have you back. on your who will so good to see you again so steven has come out with a new book out it's called victims return survivors of the cool life. that's coming

out in london next week but will still need to talk about what's going on in the middle east because some shaking is coming out and now it's being seriously discussed and us could intervene into libya what do you think are we seeing echoes of iraq here i think it's very different than iraq i think iraq was a moment when the united states in the name of democracy formed democracy by dream democracy at the tip of a bayonet or with bombs and i think we're seeing the ripple effects of iraq in the region. i'm opposed to u.s. intervention i wish the united nations had more capacity to end violence and bloodshed in countries like libya but i think for the u.s. to intervene. would be dangerous because the countries in the region themselves it seems to me as we saw in egypt people in those countries need to take control of their own destiny and i have not followed libyan politics carefully but i think

we're at a tipping point in the country where the forces arrayed against gadhafi will in the next sure yeah i do think so you're seeing that so for the u.s. intervene we create a backlash in the region that could harm the possibility of future democracy in that very unstable and important region being older than. i was for more than longer of any of the united states or of the moment for me and so many countries and are very worried. for. katrina makes a point or a convention. discredits we've all heard of him. because he appears the priorities are overthrown with the backing of the right strain in the force in the very interesting recently seen. any additional what we're witnessing in egypt and. it's not clear these are pro democracy which are these are and the despotic words they want to get rid of the dictator and

getting rid of a dictator or them going on in many countries doesn't mean necessarily true democracy that's a process in these countries and very difficult when there is an old democratic culture of american intervention or one of the point. if intervention is necessary should be collecting reaction of the united nations and this might not be a bad because the united nations was created in an effort to maintain peace and if there were actual violence against local populations you're going to be in a recession i think people who care about the future of this country should insist that the solution be taken at the united nations not in the white house and not at brussels headquarters i mean for you all know how decisions are made or is that really matter well but part of the problem in the countries we're watching in the middle east now is that the institutions of democracy have been so guarded and attacked over the last decades by the despots in power that it will take

generations to build those institutions but in the same way the u.s. relationship with these countries has been so heavily dependent on military and national security relations that it has distorted our relations and so we talk again in the united states of support for democracy that we've really been supporting stability in support of oil or in support of other measures so i think we need a new national security. policy or new thinking to use a term that was popular in this country in order to develop a relationship that would emphasize economic development which is going to be critical because so many of the protests in the region have to do with economic despair and joblessness and i think support for civic governance not the meddling but just actual changing relationships so it's away from military it's a more civil political look at the situation generally how lessons are going for what's going on right now in the arab world well i think the lesson is that you are

witnessing people who have been suppressed and repressed for decades who are disgusted and fed up with the cronyism the corruption. suppression of not necessarily democracy put people's ability to lead their own lives and in anger about the joblessness but i do think that corruption the sense that these leaders were willing to put in their own sons and his family despotism has led to something we rarely see in this world we saw we saw some of it in one thousand nine hundred nine in this part of the world but it's people rising up and seeking their own destiny it's never as simple as that but i do think that that's what we begin with and from there it will get very complicated i think in america i don't know about your country but there's a sense of you know democracy has no regime change is barely come these dictators have been ousted and what follows will be

a measure of international support of non meddling of our country's ability to come together and find the resources i come back again to economic development i really think that's going to be critical in this region because you have millions of young people and that's how it started in tunisia it's like new dominoes the young man who couldn't get a license and who was discussed by the corruption and religion saw fight on fire and suddenly you. it seems this and then finally you had the ability to communicate to social networks and not to be treated lightly people were able to see if you could get rid of a dictator in one country it could happen part of the problem in the united states where we just come from you know is there a lot of us and it's been drawn in the. us and people are saying it is interesting it isn't that when you're on the jury maybe it's the first but it's a long journey as for mr second people think of the revolution as

a story. react badly a good generalization in egypt for example. about the regime is still there the little training regime will go over the country that's not a revolution it's called regime change at the moment it's a leader change i don't know what's going to happen or can there be an intimation still be a change we misuse the word revolution when we talk about desperate for so there's a lot of misperception going the other thing that's the wrong lesson in the united states i think is the united states should do something word to shepherd you know the suburban shepherd like a former guide says flock of sheep or his cattle to report the idea of the united states has to shepherd things countries because of course rush from god always ends badly and his countrymen make a wrong or they will make an organ i just don't understand the situation but there is a danger of a political involvement and i would be much i mean there are two things that have

arisen in the united states in the last few days one is of course the renewal of democracy promotion this idea that america has the right or the wisdom to impose democracy in other countries and you see a lot of this in a commentary president obama should bring democracy to egypt bring democracy to tunisia that's not our role we need to get our own have to gather inside our country but also of course there's a concern that there will be more terrorist threats and danger in the. the feeling yes that the instability will fuel terrorist threats well you could argue the opposite that the repression of the possibility of democracy in these countries has given fuel to terrorists who have been mean have been angry and enraged over these last decades by the u.s. occupation and presence in these countries it's a very tricky time i'm not even talking about the role of israel in the region in the united states or is it live for israel and iran also well iran i think is in an

interesting position because there's iran has become again as it was because of the failed iraq war more powerful in the region and i think or oil and other factors may make it even more powerful with israel in the united states you have a strong support for israel and a concern that it will lose allies the fact that you had the board because it's i mean israel's main ally has caused many supporters of israel concerned i think you will see a region which is not going to be anti israeli but will not be as willing to support agreements that have been so inconsistent with the human rights of palestinians and so inconsistent with the rights of other countries arab countries and in the region but there is great concern among those who feel israel be threatened by the changes two years ago obama sought to reset relations with russia but humans are there to talk about so far world or or achieve so we're going to get

serious not. speaking we're quite unfortunate your country there is more cooperation and afghanistan. but i think that was an allusion to the big achievement of course of the story treating. the weapons for i've just written a long manuscript about this and i will be sure it was not on your screen we would already experienced or it will cause. underlying disagreements that created really a new cold war record breaking and i really. wanted to win all the reasons i'm going to be additional for example and why was the reset even necessary why wasn't there a strategic partnership after the storm or the strategic partnership with a group of children your grandfather created with reagan and bush that was watched after one hundred ninety one. united states claims. but that's not a fair explanation there is no agreement on the power secondly nato expansion is

clearly the biggest thing is the biggest stumbling point between america and russia it's even bigger than people understand why president medvedev has some issues with the russians in a tight rope from a sphere of privileged interests in the former soviet republic security or if you can call it a collective we say we have united states not me we say no because no country is allowed to have a sphere of influence anymore it's an evil what is the expansion of nato it's an expansion of the american sphere of influence a vast expansion into the territory that used to be most from north of soviet russia so moscow says to washington why did you get this for us and in our backyard and we get none of this is the geo political conflict of our time and there will be no reset and go now there is a solution but nobody's prepared to move forward in the united states but it's

still there's progress or. they're going to be no partnership and only sort of you know steve speaks is a scholar of russian the soviet union is pretty doesn't speak about the enormous opposition even this modest reset has confronted in the united states you had i get a republican party which for decades has supported bipartisan arms control treaties and how many republicans did you finally get seven i think at the most so the resort is modest i agree with steve's analysis of the ongoing problems but the fact that it's. under fire in america is a failure of both the c.e.o.'s all it takes is an eager share this is want to you know where presidents on both sides have enormous power in foreign policy. and reagan were opposed by their own parties but they overcame it may get it is being attacked in moscow or forgive me so while i'm in there but this is where leadership is required but don't forget these guys in the area this problem of nato expansion obama didn't expand nato he did not he inherited this problem it has to be resolved

and he grew the worst by the day remember the united states is still saying that georgia should become a member of nato and saakashvili is saying yes we want to and the united states is even saying the ukraine crain should become a member of nato even though crane says it's not interested now these are fundamental conflicts i mean we already had one war over this in georgia and there could be another country and if i learn who is stephen cohen thank you very much for this interview.

culture is that so much of it which of course is one of them severely drawing battle until the collective bargaining puts america's democracy and interest in the line of fire but is this move the red tape. media reporting from libya accused of blowing the rest out of proportion to get headlines the conflicting reports of who is in control of the different cities and the number of casualties from the countries or just the truth is still hidden from view. amid fears of military intervention from abroad experts say foreign interference in libya is already happening coffee's multibillion dollar foreign assets are being frozen and often used political tool of western powers looking to protect interests in the region. and a massive influx of illegal immigrants from violence or an arab countries fuels as have most of the sentiments in european states taking them in germany's new interior minister has become the latest politician entering the immigration debate
