My great concern is that we are enabling the prosperity of Turkey, we are enabling the prosperity of Russia. And Ashara is not being truthful to us. And that we, years down the road, if Prosperity comes, is not going to change the jihadist mentality. It didn't change it in China there, as the witness said before 5,000 years. And we think that prosperity, it's the afterlife they're paying attention to. So I got 19 seconds left. (04:36–04:41)
