Well, so talk a little bit more, if you would--I know it is Ambassador Indyk's idea, about the extension of the U.S. nuclear deterrent umbrella for some of the countries in the region, but do you see that as making a real difference?

I think even Ronald Reagan said this is in their character for the Soviet Union.
