Now when you get to Syria, so I did something with Syria because the future king, and you have a wonderful king right now, he's an older man, he's also a friend of mine, and he's a hundred percent sharp, he's great, and he's got a great son, the crown prince, and he has actually many titles, he's prime minister, he's crown prince, and he's doing a great job running it, but he called me, and he spoke to me, and he said, "Could you do me a favor? Could you, and do the world a favor, could you take the sanctions off Syria, because the only way they're going to have a chance, the sanctions are crippling, really biting." Well, that's what I did with Iran, and they came to a point where they were, they were bust. Could you take the sanctions off? I hadn't thought about it much, and he said it in a way that, you know, he's got a great heart. He said, "They can't make it with those sanctions." I said, "Let's give them a chance." I met the leader, I met the new leader, and handsome guy, by the way, young, handsome, and I said, "You know, you have quite a past, got a tough past, but when you think about it, are you going to put a choir boy in that position?" I don't think so, you know, it's going to be a little bit tough. It's a tough part of the world. So you're willing to give him a shot? You know the word, they say it's a nasty neighborhood, it's a rough neighborhood. And I thought he was really, yeah, I thought he was terrific. He was so thankful about the sanctions, because he knew he was not going to be able to bust through.
