Webster: Well I think the premise for analysis is first of all is that Gaddafi in Libya by resisting this CIA pooch or coup that was attempted against him has slow down the entire process. Because when Gaddafi has succeeded in doing, is to whip away the edifying rhetoric of color revolutions, the tomorrows of democracy and human rights to reveal what is underneath which is a brutal imperialist power grab against Libya and many other countries. So I think if you look at Syria, people have become reluctant about playing the foul destabilization card, because they see their country could easily be turned to a new Iraq or a new Afghanistan or if you take Bahrain;

I think the important thing to realize is that the starting point for what happens in Bahrain is the Khalifa family some months ago putting the United States on notice that Washington was not allowed to use that naval base of the Fifth Fleet for an attack on Iran. In other words there was some kind of national independence or national veto against the idea that they would simply become a pun in somebody else's war. I think it has probably slow down and it reflects the intrinsic weakness of these things.
