one of them is the argument that 70% of the population -- it is not a good idea to have them uled by 30%. a strong argument sending troops. to maintain such a minority. the bahrainis are also 70%. also the iraqis. the saudis more to bring back 70% minority rule. it is not such a bad idea. it depends on whose minority it s pfpblets -- it is. the other point, i think is more consequential, the idea is the saudi problem is more a strong state than an american problem. the islamic republic. even if iran was to change the conflict, from the perspective of the country who live in the shadow of this conflict that has been destructive to them, whether it is lebanon, syria, iraq, and the list goes on, any ingle crisis, it is almost one dimension, a function of a saudi-iranian conflict. they will always be having this problem from the side of the saudi. where will this take the stability of the region, i would like to have you answer and also, brian, your work is well known. >> just a quick answer. on the minorities, i agree with you. it seems to me that the situation is quite unstable. just a

ultimately if you think about the time frame during which the ules on many of the policy rules on crude oil were set was in the 1970's and early 1980's when the general thinking was petroleum mand for would only go up and u.s. supply would only go down. so policy makers are struggling with the fact that the whole basis for a number of the rules that were put in place has been turned upside down and they are trying to figure out the best way to deal with that. and with the following, policy makers have a really hard job trying to think about these things. they've got to look at what the economic impacts are. they have to look at what the national security impacts are and they have to look at what the environmental impacts are in changing any of the energy policy that is they review. and that is a lot of issues to keep up in the air and to handle effectively. and i think it's just terrific that e.i.a. doesn't have to get nto those policy issues. >> i think time is running on here. i think we'll close at this point. you show great dexterity as usual taking a range of questions. > thank you
