8:04 pm
this matter because of reports that they may have had a hand in this particular incident in fact the united states never made secret that they contacted countries in europe about snowden possibly traveling through that territory in that she should be handed over to the united states authorities for charges and the trial so. over and while edward snowden remains at moscow's sheremetyevo airport definitely will be seeing more twists and turns to this rather crazy story political analyst power of phony says the state's granting of asylum to an individual could depend on washington's consent. well the zeppelins with the flights of the president. is just surely how much the and the real security decisions for europe are taken in washington and. europe is a junior partner in the western alliance as it has always been over the past sixty

8:28 pm
was commentator is a much more blunt calling is more of oppression or even a genocide of the iraqi people the same community that condemned the use of force for political goals in the case of bush and blair appears quite accepting of violence as a method of machine change in syria and those who live in bastid the west for ruling iraq ultimately advocating a similar approach in syria to discuss that i'm now joined by an asshole to critique president of the cordoba foundation mr alter critic i really appreciate your being here now my first question may sound provocative but i find much of the pro-democracy and anti assad rhetoric really similar to what we heard from george w. bush about a decade ago people like yourself who at least at some point or in support of armed rebellion argue that since assad is a dictator or syria would be a better place without human therefore all the measures to get rid of him are
8:29 pm
somehow justified even if it is a war and to me that is the very asons of the bush's case to launch a war in iraq there are some stark differences. between iraq and between syria and iraq there was no revolution in iraq there was a war. that was instigated by the push of interest strategic financial. whatever it may be at the time the lead tony blair and george w. bush to launch a war which i felt and i at the time was one of the leaders of the end to a movement ok what's the difference very. well syria was. was a revolution in the in the in the same way that egypt saw its revolution which toppled hosni mubarak in the same way that tunisia so revolution that toppled the benignly and in the same way that the people of libya rose the people of syria as well as yemen other countries also rose at the very same time the context can't be
8:30 pm
ignored the syrian revolution for six months after it starts all it was calling for was the reform of the regime not the fall of the regime you mentioned that their way of florida was through peaceful protest and i take your point i was there on the ground are so many of those peaceful rallies but i think the protesters that i saw back then in damascus and in many other syrian cities have absolutely nothing in common with they aren't rebels and the problem is that your south your group and many other arab intellectuals in the west seem to you said just that you know on this particular case using violence using aren't resistance may be justified and my my argument is that it is not because in the case of george w. bush he also had some strong arguments of reading the world of saddam hussein to one percent had blood on his hands he was a dictator so president bush felt or at least articulated that you know while it may be a better place without him but.
