you know, basically, you know, i think it's -- how do you see the world around you, because as i see it, what's happened to the middle east and what's happened to israel's predicament in the middle east is -- is unprecedented and really requires a whole strategic rethink at several levels, piers. let's start at the highest level. so a whole swath of countries that surrounded israel that have been living in some ways outside of history for the last 50 years that is isolated from the world's biggest trends by tyranny, the cold war and oil are really coming into history and it is going to be a turbulent, turbulent time. and i think in this turbulent time it is of vital israeli interest to get out of their story if israel can, okay. try to get out of their story. israel is not the cause of this turbulence, okay, it was not the spark for it but that doesn't mean it cannot be drawn into it.
