This is one of those days where there is just to much great content to post just one segment of Secure Freedom Radio. The influence of Iran, Syria, and Hezbollah in Lebanon has come to a breaking point in the fight for democracy and there is no one better than Walid Phares to give us the break down. [audio: http://www.securefreedomradio.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/01122011_seg3_Phares_12min16.mp3] And thought the headlines have faded somewhat from the beginning of the South Sudan referendum, the voting goes on there is much at play that won’t be settled for some time. Thank God that Walid hung out for a second segment. What’s happening in Sudan is a big deal in world history and it’s significance is best articulated by Walid.

If you don’t agree check out one of the two drill down segments with Gordon Chang from Forbes.com.
