experienced firsthand i was there in chad when they were worried about qaddafi coming across the sahara heading south into sub-saharan africa and there is a redline across the sand and this is the place for the sahara and the jungle break and he sent the foreign region and down there and the shop there is a product the troops and reinforce that he didn't want to see qaddafi and guess what it worked and it was very clear what was going on and he did not go any further. so some redlines work pretty well in korea at least until now really because the new set of redlines were not set up along the 38th ll at the end of the korean war but they were new redlines that had to do with nuclear issues and so on. i'm not sure how this will play out someone asked me a question maybe it was you but i think we will find that eventually the world would have to accept there will be some sort of nuclear capability on the command pencil and then how people deal with that and how we establish that line will be very critical going forward. >> western sahara azerbaijan what happens when the teacher is occupie

i was in chad when they were wearing about qaddafi coming across the sahara into africa. there is a redline across the sand and that's just about the place with the sahara in the jungle break. and he could almost run an x-acto knife there. and he said to the foreign region down and there is a shop there. and they came in and brought in the iranian troops and reinforced that . did not want to see qaddafi. and they understood that and saw what was going on and do not go any further. some redlines work. . well in korea up until recently are until now really. as a new set redlines their new redlines which had to do with nuclear issues and so on. i'm not sure exactly how that will play out. somebody asked the question for anything with you . i think that we are going to find that eventually the world is going have to accept that there will be some sort of nuclear capability from the koreans. and then we have to figure out how we will do without. and how we establish that line will be quick going forward. deborah: another question is western sahara, what happens when the teache
