You have king or ruler, which was the Shah, or you have democracy.

In my opinion, you have to go the middle version.

They're done with the Shiite ruler, and there's zero case examples that democracy will work in the Middle East.

We could wish for it, we could love it.

Yes, you're gonna be just like America.

I don't know if that's possible there.

So maybe you need a temporary Shah, whether it's Reza Pahlavi, whatever it is, but there's no evidence in the last 50 years

that a democracy can work in the Middle East.

You tell me, am I right, am I wrong?

Thoughts on this, PVD?

Sadly, I think there's a part that's like, guys, we don't know what.

That's horrible.

Okay, of course.

We learned when we went into Afghanistan and Iraq that we don't know Sunni, Shiite, Alawite.

Who's this?

What's going on?

Hezbollah, our friend Hezbollah is now working.

They're friends with these people, the proxies.

It's so messy out there, and it's so tribal out there.

We have no clue what we're doing, but we know this one thing.
