Whatever it is, his mother must be very proud. But as it turned out, they have essentially outsourced to any terrorist function that wants to go. Secretary of State designee Clinton, President-elect Obama, you know, if you want to look for your trouble spots, Saudi Arabia and Syria are turning out to be your next big problem spots, but Jordan bears a responsibility as well. But Jordan has been as close as there is to a moderate in that part of the world. They have been it. But if you look at the West Bank, and you look at the allegations about refugees, this used to be Jordan. If Jordan really cared about solving this problem, they will be doing some things that are more constructive. But I have got to tell you if they were all as good as Jordan, I think we would probably take it. The problem is that we are surrounded by people who seem to think that it is in their interest to keep the violence going on in the territories, and I think that that has to change. I am not sure if my colleague from New Jersey is here for this Special Order, because he has been a remarkable leader on the issues. This is truly a bipartisan issue. We recently had a resolution on the floor condemning Gaza and standing up in support of Israel. As it always is, we disagree on many things in this body, but I think that we have all agreed, and I have said previously, I think some Presidents of my party, like Jimmy Carter, have been a disaster for Israel.
