i mentioned china, central asia, ncc, the muslim world in general. but 9/11 really gave us an early focus. and really enabled us to begin working -- i saw gene kirkpatrick, he used to be on my board at iri, and this was some years before she died. i remember going over to see her, and she said what's different over there, this was early in '02. i said, finally the middle east is open for business. she said, that's huge. because even under reagan it was not open for business. it gave us a real focus. we had never been able to move on the middle east before. and i think it's true, and i'm sure we will get into this later. we made mistakes in the bush administration. i think every administration makes mistakes. but it can't be a co-incidence, that things finally started to move in the middle east. and i think that's really, really important. >> let me address quickly then the political will created by 9/11, both in two different directions. now it's about us in a different way, when we're attacked on 9/11. and what that does to human rights, perhaps ove
