western powers are trying to make room for people that may or may not be capable of filling that space. >> no doubt, this is a gamble for the president. people look at whether gadhafi stays or goes as a measure of president obama's strength in the world and what he is able to achieve. i think richard's right. sometimes you have to be careful of joining oppositions that aren't really in a position to win. you can create a moral hazard problem of getting other people elsewhere that begin campaigns against their government, they are not quite ready. those inspiring protesters in egypt were on their game. they knew how to move their people, how to resuscitate themselves when people thought the air was coming out of the protest in egypt, they shocked everyone by showing up again. that may not always be the case. what i recently said, one of the uncomfortable truths in this, sometimes revolutions aren't won by the protesters. it is going to be a mixed bag in the middle east. hopefully we'll do okay in libya, but i have some doubts. >> steve clem ons of the new
