one really knew exactly what to do and i think that continues to this day look at what happened in tunisia which was going to be the model that you know the first country to overthrow its. to oust its strongman. you know if that was going to be the model they have elections everything was fine and now the opposition leader gets clipped killed you know there's a lot of concern about what is going to happen in tunisia about what is going to happen in libya itself particularly after the attack on the qana on the diplomatic the u.s. diplomatic mission in benghazi egypt is a big question i mean it's completely up in the air that you know the army says the country is at risk of falling apart and i think that it's my job as a journalist on the job of other journalists to find out exactly how this government the government that i cover if i was in london i would be trying to do the same thing with the british government but that i've been to be covering the american government so to find out how they're going to deal with this because it's a huge issue. you said you had a sense that the administra

i am watching what is happening in egypt and tunisia, libya etc. these hose saunas and hallelujah is considering a democratic new age in the middle east -- that leaves me with a great deal of cynicism. i think what is going to happen is they are going to revert to what they have always reverted to, the autocracy of one form or another. if you remember earlier last year assad said it people to the israeli border hoping to distract opposition from himself. i remember one person said the in her mother's milk is a hatred for israel and the united states. the bottom line is nothing is going to happen and i think we would be foolish to think so. that is our nine of its hay -- are 90 -- our naivete. guest: the caller is reflecting deepening concerns about 20 positions are leading. certainly the vitoria -- the euphoria has dissipated. we are seeing all kinds of chaos and instability from tunisia, libya, egypt. syria is of course the worst case. i sense a transportation -- a transformation that is generations in the making. there is going to be dislocation

that happens that's up to us and we've seen the positive effects of many leaks in many countries in tunisia they were no part of what fuels the uprising and even a place to like the dominican republic where they have spirit serious government reforms the united states is a bit harder since we're very deep politicized apathetic society especially when it comes to foreign policy changes i haven't given up hope yet but to the here and now back to manning what's in store for him an immediate future do you think has this case going to pan out as you say see it. well i hate it to spoil any suspense but i would be shocked if he is not convicted and sentenced to a very long prison term i expect about fifty years that's five zero now when he's pleaded guilty to will get him twenty three years i doubt that the prosecution is going to let go of the more serious charges even know serious as they are they're also a bit ridiculous modify the aiding the enemy and i drop that what do you think that's no big thing i think the prosecution is invested too much energy and effort into this capital offense of ai
