because it strikes me at times that frankly, as much as the amir of kuwait has made many efforts, that those have not always been that received in riyadh and abu dhabi and there's a point, i think, many kind of increasingly see it as kind of a deadlock. and to kind of break that, you see this as a potential opportunity for washington or for maybe doha to propose those set of principles to bring? >> well, definitely the intervention of the united states will make a big difference. and especially when it comes from the highest level, by the president himself or express his commitment to see the end to this crisis and he always called for gulf country, whenever he has a conversation with him or meeting with them he stresses the importance of the gulf countries to come back together and what also we believe in that we need to start a just and fair process and the secretary of state, who was visiting the region earlier at the crisis, he started to propose some good proposals which are-- can become a baseline for further negotiation. and i thought it was very responsive to those proposals an
