lebanon since 2009 has been subordinated by the serious issue. and syria, we have come full circle, going from engagement with russia are assad, to pressure, even greater pressure on assad and we had in 2008. assad himself is probably regret in the support for al qaeda in iraq, which is coming back to bite him. when it comes to iran, i was reading an article recently in preparation for a different speech about the negotiations, the president saying, the last offer we made was meeting with was met with a relatively positive response from iranians. we were feeling optimistic, but we have to give them time and space of keeping our options on the table. that article was from 2006. that tells you little bit about how this issue has or has not changed. this is the issue that feels the most similar to where it stood in 2008. there are more sanctions. iran's nuclear program has expanded as well. elsewhere, we have had arab uprising. even in 2008, our concerns about president mubarak and his ability to continue to rule egypt was high. that concern was hig

lebanon has been very concerned about clashes on its border. the jordanian and iraqi border is a tense place, and basketball that is even before we consider the golan heights and the iraqi border as well. so the regional dimension to this is of increasing and serious concern, and that's one of the reasons for this package of policy changes and announcements that aye -- i've given today. >> mr. edward lee. >> may i strongly reject the neo-con policies and ideas emanating from are our right honorable friend from kensington? what could be gained by our selling arms in this cauldron? have we forgotten the disastrous policy of arming the rebels in afghanistan? have we forgotten the atrocities being committed against christians in syria? what's wrong with basing our policy on life, not death? >> i've never considered myself a neo-con and don't use that, don't describe myself as that as foreign secretary. our policy must be very carefully calibrated, and my honorable friend draws attention to situations where, which have gone seriously wrong from the

and that is certainly what my experience was like growing up in lebanon. well, if there was war and i can't do anything about it, there must be someone responsible. and beyond, you know, the militia leaders in my country, somebody must be pulling the strings somewhere. you know, it must be america. so it provides a neat explanation for why you are powerless. it's not an accurate explanation, not always. i mean, america is certainly powerful and pulls quite a few strings, but does it have control over everything? it certainly doesn't have control over the outcome of the decisions that it takes. i mean, just look at the iraq war. it was supposed to go according to a certain plan, and it didn't quite work out the way people here had anticipated. so is this contradiction, this constant contradiction, and i don't know whether we will move beyond that. but i think that one thing that clinton did or very well as secretary of state in her relentless public diplomacy was to be very, um, sort of, um, pragmatic in the way she explained to people, you know, what the u

lebanon the last twenty four hours has condemned what it says was a cross border jet attack by syria is it likely the country's going to become embroiled in this conflict. well i think neighbors in the middle east may be looking at things slightly differently because of that latest development these are only elements within the lebanese coalition in beirut so the fact that they're criticizing the outside government for cross border incursions shouldn't be taken as seriously as the possibility of rebels terrorists insurgents whatever they called those fighting the government launching attacks on syria from lebanon obviously with the aim of widening the conflict to the hezbollah or to the equation . but i don't think many people in doubt would be in doubt after seeing the two thousand and six victory of hezbollah over u.s. backed israel that once you get as buller in on the action. see position confirmed with ever certainty and this nato backed attempt to overthrowing him would have failed i should return to see things from the program tonight. safe is it tonight taking the bailout mon

what is their plan with lebanon. they couldn't imagine a super power like america was pulling the strings cincinnati was an interesting moment that i found very revealing of the continued perception of america as a master puppeteer, pulling all the strings. it was ain't inherent contradiction from what my -- an inherent contradiction in what my friends were saying where simultaneously they were praising people power, which brought down mubarak, which had brought down gadhafi, brought down -- and at the same time they were convinced the united states was pulling all the strings. and i don't know how you reconcile those two images. and my explanation is that when chaos erupts around you, you want to find a neat, tidy explanation for why you don't have any control. and that is certainly my experience was like growing up in lebanon. there's war, i can't do anything about it. somebody is responsible, and beyond the militia leaders in my country, somebody must be pulling the strings somewhere. must be america. so provides

across the border into lebanon. upping the pressure on the syrian president. >> the violence is not going to stop unless and until assad understands that he can't shoot his way out of, this that the better course of action, if he wants to save his country is to allow a transition to better government. >> this new amateur video out of syria while impossible to authenticate shows the fighting apparently raging in key centers including homes in damascus. as a leader of the main syrian rebel group is throwing his support behind the formation of an interim government whose leader may be tomorrow in istanbul, turkey, shep. >> shepard: nations have long avoided during this conflict the idea of sending weapons directly to the rebels. that's changed or no? >> it seems to have changed. at a news conference with the australian foreign minister a short time ago. secretary of state john kerry really opened the door stating the u.s. does not stand in the way of other countries, whether it's france or britain or anyone else who wa
