again, about reform and applauded king abdullah's reform, on the way out to the van where abdullah left, he said, mr. president, i understand what you're saying, but i'm afraid. i'm afraid. a man in his 80s, maybe 90s. bedouin, trying to reform, but, you know, such a long way to go. so it's very hard, but one of the things, i think, the obama administration has an opportunity to do is to try to get these regimes that have some legitimacy to lead their people to a democratic future without having to go through the disruption of revolutionary change. >> okay. thanks. >> i want to make a couple of comments. one is to offer further explanation on why there isn't a center. elliott started it, and i want to add to what he was beginning to describe. and the second point i want to make will relate to the last thing that steve was saying, because there has been a lot of focus within the obama administration on precisely what you've been describing and indeed having precisely those type of conversations, which is, you can see what's coming. get out in front of it and then offering certain kinds o

this is zaini abdullah. tensions between the two main players has meant violence, which is not what voters want. >> i think there are three main issues from everyone we've talked to. one is preserving the peace in aceh and avoiding any return to conflict. the second is personal security, feeling safe about where you live, where you work, or your travel. the third is about the economy, having a sense that you are moving forward, that your life is improving, that you have a job. >> aceh has only seen peace for seven short years. many of the young children here do not know any other life. their parents still remember when it was not safe to leave their homes at night. aceh's future stability hinges on how these elections and the results are handled. no one wants a return to the violence of the past. bbc news, aceh. >> south korean officials say new satellite images suggest that north korea is preparing to carry out a third nuclear test. the images show signs of a new underground tunnel being built at the site w

also in jordan i'm wondering if there are conversations there, king abdullah is our best friend, very western but the regime is not legitimate i'm sorry to say. the fact that he don't have to perform pretend elections every four years and pretend that's what his basis of legitimacy doesn't mean he is widely supported. i'm wondering if there are conversations there, if there are with saudi arabia, the other religious -- give religion a bad name in the region, i'd love to hear more from that. >> let me start. one of the problems you run into of course is that while it is true that there are sometimes rulers who respond to these questions which they probably see as lectures by these stupid americans, they respond by saying you don't know anything. you don't understand. that happens. but what happens with equal frequency is people say absolutely. you are right. i'm doing it, i'm with you, i'm ahead of you. when that is just, you know, pabulum for us. there was a period at which it looked as if president sala was moving ahead with democracy. he had a reasonably free election, he had an opp
