is going to look pretty irresponsible and silly right new to say this is all because of the trailer for a video. i was at the speech in cairo in june of 2009 and i am struck by how much has changed and how much it looks almost, some of the comments sound, i don't know if naive is the word, but...quaint, given everything that has happened with the arab spring. it is not, really, irrelevant. there is time for a reset of that reset. we have not heard the president talk about his policy since then. >>chris: that brings up a fair question, the air spring. obviously it will be more complicated after the arab spring. you could not just call up mubarak and say, stop the protesters. you have democracies rather than dictators and islamic groups free to protest and express themselves. how could the president have better managed what was always going to be a messy transition? >> couple of things.
