well indeed britain is very close in the military and political sense of the united states and bush was extraordinary popular all around the world including in this country there was enormous goodwill towards barack obama when he came here he was very well received but quite honestly the rhetoric of obama and the soaring off of obama doesn't fit in with the reality of his presidency as i said before is still open he's proposing another generation of weapons they're proposing continuing to increase military expenditure around the world and now the threat with iran and i just really wonder where all this leads to more briefly what we think america's standing. in america's standing around the world is low because of guantanamo ok i just want to ask. one other subject in the last thirty seconds we got into syria looking at where things may go he also mentions syria saying that the assad regime will soon discover quote that the forces of change of course the arab spring cannot be reversed does that seal assad's fate. i think unfortunately it looks to me as though they're building up for some
