only got enough seems to be in line to go ahead sure sure i can't imagine that the gulf countries will follow the same trend in the near future as some of the. north african countries. there are a lot more you could say repressive there isn't this development of civic society as you have in egypt egypt more or less they have a very educated population of a vast population and they have they have a growing middle class by can emerge in the gulf countries where the ruling fact family ruling elites. controls everything. and where most of the workers are expatriates who are sustaining that country i can't imagine that this will take place in the next decade but having said that they might have ways to actually change the change their country and introduce more democratic reform process within the monarchic regime they can do that in various ways there are not have the same kind of revolution and maybe something we should hope for because of the way these countries are then we should maybe hope for change democratic reform within the constraints of the monarchy is not the best but this is p

they're all different countries over different in their own unique ways but the gulf countries i'm sad to say but hopefully we'll have some changes what do you what if we use a term like you just go ahead jump in but you know let's talk about what kind of democracies we're talking about go ahead. well first of all i just wanted to say you know in regards to your question about the gulf i think when you when you when you look at some of these these gulf countries you see some of the uglier contradictions in the real you know exposes some of the real power politics at play in the region you have you know the emir of qatar you know intervening pretty pretty strongly or at least suggesting intervention in syria and playing a real supporting role with mohamed morsi in egypt while the same time you know maintaining an authoritarian state in his own country so you see that you know these questions are not always about you know spreading freedom or democracy but there's a there's a pretty macchiavelli and power play that goes on you know throughout these sorts of issues as your question about

syria or jordan rather than to the gulf egyptians have so many domestic problems right now but they're really not looking very much. united our arab emirates and other gulf monarchies have lost the you know they've avoided the arab spring so to speak any invented cold months has a western support for the areas being now put its allies in danger. some view it that way certainly neoconservatives in washington are ground was undermined. egypt threatens to overthrow the american. domination of the middle east but because of the goal in the very difficult position they want to eat on the side of a history of improvement in the region they've been stuck supporting dictators traditionally historically their american government is stumble and forward right now trying to figure out what to do and it's under the obama administration under great attack by the republicans who are trying to get political issue of the fact the. region it's not clear thank you so much author and journalist eric margolis that talking to us from toronto thank you for your thoughts and i think you're welcome. right over

and gulf arab policies if you're in new york. jumping pleased to. see. peter peter flint is being a little bit too kind on the iranian government here in regards to their impact on the conflict that we see that's going on the iranian regime had recently in in september had they told some talks with members of the opposition but they always insist that the opposition has to accept that the bashar assad stays in power this is what these lamas said after they met with the legations from the reigning government when they travel to tehran. there have been talks but again the reigning government is also one of the causes of this come conflict we see that they are supporting the assad regime financially we see that the iranian regime itself members of the quds force the deputy head was saying that they are assisting the assad regime and the iranian regime has always insisted that assad stays no i think this is something that has to be agreed between the syrian parties but one thing's for sure flynt assad cannot stay after the massive abuses of human rights in h
