And it offers the most promising opportunity to lift the cloud of uncertainty and insecurity and danger that otherwise would hand over that whole region, including the American service men and women who are there. So I'm very, very hopeful about it. If it works, it does; if it doesn't, then there will be other options open to us. Thank you.”
