many of us have always thought that hezbollah controlled that government anyway, but now perhaps this tu multipmult has y of the sunni citizens to say i'm not crazy about all this intervention coming from across borders from iran. frankly maybe our neighbors to the south in israel aren't so bad after all. but this is certainly a remarkable moment in the civic life of the world where these little sparks are setting off changes that none of us thought even possible a year ago. >> because the tunisia, lebanon, egypt, now yemen. it could spill over, who knows to jordan, algeria, morocco, other countries. is this good for the u.s. or bad for the u.s.? >> look, we always make the mistake in the united states of america, we tend to embrace the spot that's least troublesome to us. i think in this case ronald reagan was right, that we want to have freedom in these countries and that will ultimately work out to the benefit of the united states.
