We analyze recent events in Libya, where an end-game appears to be in the works for Moammar Gadhafi. How might events there influence those in Syria, where President Assad continues to order death and torture again warring rebels? We’ll also examine recent tensions between Egypt and Israel, and the sentencing of two American hikers imprisoned in Iran.

Guests:

Lina Khatib, program manager for the Program on Arab Reform and Democracy at Stanford University

Aaron David Miller, public policy scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and author of books including "The Much Too Promised Land: America's Elusive Search for Arab-Israeli Peace"

George Joffe, Libya expert and lecturer in the Dept. of Politics and International Studies at Cambridge University

Omar Turbi, Libyan-American businessman and commentator on U.S.-Libyan relations
