I was wondering if perhaps there had been some direct connection in Iran that you'd had, but okay, we can move on. There are other things I want to ask you.
Professor Akhavan gave public testimony before this committee. I don't know how long ago it was, but it must be at least a year, if not more. You were talking about unfettered internal political development. He told this committee that his belief was that for change to happen in Iran, the western nations had to be removed from the equation, not part of it.
What do you think of that statement?
