Washington Week with The Atlantic

Webcast Extra - October 21, 2011

7m 54s

A day after Moamar Gadhafi's death, the U.N. Security Council has condemned Yemen's President Saleh for refusing to cede power. If Saleh is ousted, how will this play out for other countries like Assad and Syria? Plus, a poll indicates that the Occupy Wall Street movement reflects the frustration of Americans. And, are the GOP debates beginning to feel more like a reality TV series?
