It should be the opposite way. But I think that eventually something's going to happen. It should happen fast. So many people are dying. You know, When I settled out with Congo and Rwanda, they lost almost 8 million people. And it just made so much sense. And if I didn't get involved, they wouldn't have done it. They weren't even thinking about settling it. It was just going on forever. (30:19–30:26)
