nature of the imperial job in these regime is the root cause of those conflicts not one in world war iii we determined to change those regimes. you're right. we succeeded. as for preemption, the bush doctrine does not say preemption is justified under any circus and appeared ready to say it's whether you use sooner or later is a prudential judgment that depends on the circumstances, the gravity of the danger, the alternative strategies available, consequence of waiting too long. we know from history that there are times that using force in her to quote churchill can save much luck, toil, tears and sweat later. one was in the 1930s we waited too long with hitler. another was in 1941 churchville preemptively destroyed the vichy french fleet harbored in iran. a third was the israeli decision rightly shigeo cyrix reactor in may 1981 without which saddam hussein would've had nuclear weapons by the time of the first gulf war. one final thought on the cost of office, the bush doctrine does not say you go to war with everybody to change the nature of the regime. what it says is when there was a

in the particular context of the sifi surcharges, i can only say number 1 in terms of basel iii and the sifi surcharges an enormous amount has been engaging on what the macroeconomic impact are going to be and because our macroeconomic models and he knows more about this than i do and kim does are underdevelopment when it comes to the financial sector but nonetheless using the tools we have available, our estimates at least in the regulatory sector are those effects won't be all that large. with respect to the sifi surcharges, i think the point has to be made that unlike basel iii, which will be broadly applicable, the sifi surcharges will be applied differentially to different firms and will apply only to a subset of the banks in the system so that whatever the effects will be for those firms, one can't extrapolate, though, automatically the effects on credit markets and the economy as a whole. in other words, i probably shouldn't say what may not -- it may be true that some of this is bad for the very largest banks in the country but what's bad for the very largest banks isn't necessa

basel iii. there are important roles in insuring that our nation's banks have sufficient capital to guard against another crisis. recently, the basel committee reached an agreement on the basel ii accords on the holding requirements. do you support higher capital requirements for larger financial institutions, and what is your assessment of the new basel iii capital accords? will they work, and will they be sufficient? >> thank you, mr. shelby. we do support them. the fdic is a member of the delegation to the basel committee, and i think we of view the agreement -- we view that as an important step for the united states and, quite frankly, international. historically, u.s. institutions have had larger than some of the larger foreign institutions, and basel iii will apply the standards internationally for both a leverage ratio and the risk-based capital standards, so from both a domestic standpoint an international standpoint, it seems to us to be a significant step forward. >> mr. curry. >> sena
