the u.s. government according to many experts a large majority of the arab world has grown too familiar with the anti muslim sentiment america is accused of cementing the policy of the americans towards this part of the world is inadequate it doesn't call for dialogue doesn't call for development it doesn't call for progress it calls for the moving of those units because it puts american interests and some western interests a cause for war and the invasion of iraq as we have seen destruction of afghanistan no progress on the peace level in pakistan thinks the spark for it to you know all come out in violent forms as we can see now on the screen and this is what's happening within forty eight hours the fury that began in egypt spread to libya yemen lebanon and iran in afghanistan you tube was shut down but tensions in the muslim world seem to be only increasing there has been a lot of simmering nancy american feeling right across the entire world it's there it's worse in pakistan where all show

four u.s. staffers, including ambassador chris stevens, were killed when an armed mob stormed the complex on tuesday. libyan and u.s. officials suspect a small group of jihadists are responsible and they believe the attack was not connected to a protest over an on line movie ridiculing muslims. joining us now, nedula. first of all, your family is there in libya and you have been talking to them. what are they telling you about what is taking place there? >> well, everybody so far has expressed absolute condemnation, grief over what happened. ambassador stevens was well respected and well liked in libya and everybody is just stunned about what happened. i'm keen to emphasize that this attack in no way represents libyan sentiments or feelings towards the americans or towards the american government. >> is your family afraid of what is taking place there? when we see these pictures, it looks very violent. i know it's a very small group, but it does look rather frightening and alarming what's takin

the u.s. embassies found themselves under attack by outraged mobs and in some cases forces fired on mobs with deadly consequences and all of it caused a dramatic shift in the presidential campaign as foreign policy suddenly took center stage. ben wedeman is back in cairo. it seems that this weekend there seems to be a cooling of heads to a certain degree in egypt. is that what you're seeing, ben? >> certainly among the leaders of the muslim brotherhood and in the administration of the egyptian president, there is an attempt to calm down the situation rhetorically. and certainly we've seen in messages conveyed by leaders of the muslim brotherhood and the egyptian president, they're trying to send a message of reassurance to washington. but at the same time they're kind of walking a tight rope between washington and the street here in egypt, where there is anger, where we have seen these protests really going on around the clock. and therefore there's a difference between what we're hearing in e

any u.s. administration i hope after the election -- because we cannot talk before the election -- propose at least once after 33 years a comprehensive package including terrorism, weapons of mass destruction, peace process, israel, human rights, democracy, all these major points for the u.s. and iranians also they have their own shopping list. and the u.s. also should be prepared to address iranian concerns. if it failed, then come to your public and say it doesn't work to try. because you have never tried. the u.s. has never tried. >> i've been asked to make this reminder for our listening audience and radio. you're listening to the commonwealth club radio program and our guest, former foreign policy adviser who is providing his perspective on the impass with iran. we had a number of questions related to israel and a military strike. and in a recent op ed you gave 20 reasons not to attack iran and you were quite explicit calling a military strike idiotic. tell us why you think -- some of the

the u.s. is annually wargaming the u.s. space command a first strike attack on china so all you have to do is follow the industry reports from the aerospace industry the military industrial complex and you see that north korea. public statements really don't hold water the united states is war gaming a first strike attack. so how does see beijing responding to this breach just just briefly we're talking about this huge build up and this is heating up of tensions from the u.s. point of view how will beijing react. clearly china has to expand its own military it's putting more satellites in the sky so it can look down on the earth and watch what the united states is doing it's moving it's very vulnerable twenty nuclear missiles that are capable of hitting the west coast of the united states they're moving them off the ground and putting them into a submarine so that they will have a survivable nuclear deterrent clearly the united states is intending to jack up the arms race in at the same time it must be said the u.s. is also

>> u.s. embassy officials in cairo tonight seem to be trying to defuse a protest that is actually growing by the hour. we understand the thousands of protesters are now outside the u.s. embassy in cairo where officials released a statement which seemed to accept that this protest is the result of this reportedly anti-muslim movie that is being proposalled by the internet by some anti-muslim campaigners. in the statement, those officials said in part, quote, respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of american democracy. we firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others. among those who have reportedly promoted this movie, florida christian church leader terry jones. you'll remember him. he threatened to burn the koran in 2010. whatever the cause of these protests, state department spokeswoman said earlier today they should not be overestimated. listen. >> one of the things about the new egypt is that protest is pos

part of the anti-u.s. sentiment, and there is an anti-u.s. sentiment in the clashes today and in the protests on tuesday and in the various countries where the protests are taking plaes, the u.s. has been -- egypt has been a major ally for the u.s. to the extent that five different u.s. administrations supported our dictator, mubarak. i think the white house realized, because over the past few minutes i've been reading statements, the white house realized what a shocking statement that was and it looks like they're trying to back pedal from this idea that egypt has been demoted as an ally. i think everybody right now feels how sensitive the situation is and understands this political jockeying for power and again to reiterate, it's -- the revolution and its goals, freedom and dignity, but not be derailed. i think it's imperative for the u.s. administration as well as the egyptian administration to focus on those goals and not allow the right wing to derail us. >> mona, what is the reaction of people in egypt, though, to those statements, to t
