I'm not avoiding the question, but I do think, Michael, that this is an impossible subject to discuss in two or three minutes.

You happen to have here at the committee two individuals who have an extraordinary knowledge of a world crisis that is taking place at the moment. I'm not afraid to answer any questions, but I think it would be far more appropriate for you to be focusing questions to those two individuals, who have a lot to contribute to the committee's understanding of the current international situation.
