. >> diana lady dugan, center for strategic and international studies and cyber century form and former state department. ironically, matt, you brought up a point that i wanted to actually ask about with the disclaimer that analogies are very, very dangerous. why is there not more focus on the idea of a very limited coalition? i'm not talking about a whole national security guarantee or a mini nato. but one thing is a lot of those countries in the middle east, even saudi arabia, really doesn't want to spend its money on nuclear capabilities. they want to be able to assure their people that they're protected. a colleague of mine, mika brzezinski, has sort of tossed out an idea that seems to make a lot of sense, and that is that we should look at starting to build a coalition, but, again, disclaimer about analogies to others, with saudi arabia, with turkey, with the gulf states, and a number in the region that attack against any -- or one is an attack against any. and it has a number of elegant elements to it. and obviously one is the long-term arab/persian conflict, shias, sunnis. there
