and you look for those places, and i'm sure they go on today, like prague was about ten years ago after the communist downfall; it became an explosive place. i'm waiting for the next one to look up when it happens. i love those places; they're really exhilarating. it's like whitewater rafting. you know, you're in a craft going down this whitewater-- a few curves. you have not the slightest idea of what's gonna be around the next corner. and you're trying to keep the boat in. you're in there with a bunch of people, and you're--whatever. and you could crash on a big rock at any moment. but i have never had any fear of going down in flames. you know, it's almost like world war i fighter pilots; it's almost your destiny. if you don't, then you're condemned to an old-age life-- in an old-age home where you really don't want to be, you know? so [exhales]. one of the areas that record companies and television companies and others censor often, as you've mentioned, has to do with language. sometimes it has to do with drugs. and there was a song brought to you by david crosby, when the the byrds

to put it another way, the arab spring may be going the way of the prague spring of 1968, when the people of then-czechoslovakia rose up and soviet tanks and armaments suppressed their revolution. we simply cannot let that happen. senator mccain and i were in tunesia and egypt a couple of weeks ago. one of the messages that we got, particularly from the young people who have been at the head of this remarkable uprising in these two countries, was don't stand by. please, america, don't stand by and let qaddafi bludgeon his own people who are asking for the same rights and opportunity and freedoms that we have been asking for. because if you do, it will end the movement of freedom and opportunity across the arab world. and in some sense the tunesians and egyptians said to us, it may setback our own cause, even though we have been successful thus far. and that's why it has been so frustrating, really infuriating to watch as qaddafi has moved with increasing brutality and force against his own people, pushing his opponents back, threatening really to totally suppress their uprising. and i hav
