es it promote and prolong terrorism oh well my book certainly doesn't promote terrorism I simply wanted to tell the truth but then when you start to write it down it turns into something else I'm not sure what but you just try and do the best you can and hope to live with it have to live with it sure but take a more Cosmic view the 30-year War kept up its merry momentum without any help from our profession I don't think those of us who simply record events are that important finally maybe that's
the biggest thing we have to live with well what you have to live with is certainly turned into a huge bestseller thank you Allison for being with us by satellite from be and of course Mr Ron thank you too again when we come back from the commercial we will meet the United Nations ambassador from Iran Mr Fredo Heda right after this be with us okay we're off great well thank you in real life bring on the Ambassador so to speak ah Mr Ambassador nice to see you I uh to meet you because I've not on
