:40:02
The Middle East is a money drain!
Lt'll always be the same.
:40:06
We ought to spend that money at home.
:40:08
So just ignore the region?
:40:11
Miss Dawn, is there a chance
for peace in the Middle East?
:40:18
The chances are as good as getting
a Democrat back in the White House.
:40:23
After all the problems
the President's had recently,
:40:26
he doesn't have much clout anyway.
:40:31
It makes you wonder
if a parliamentary system isn't better.
:40:34
But I think we should keep a strong
presence over there, don't you?
:40:39
Well, here's what I have to say.
:40:41
Who elected the Washington Post
king of the universe?
:40:44
- Excuse me.
- I'm sorry, what did you say?
:40:48
Do you think we should keep
an active presence over there?
:40:51
Forgive me! I thought you said...
:40:54
Anyway, active presence, yeah...
:40:56
Well...
:40:58
I know we can't be
the policemen of the world,
:41:01
but until we get another cop, we have
an obligation to support our friends.
:41:07
After all,
being a superpower has its price.
:41:10
She's right.
:41:13
It's still a dangerous world.
:41:15
But what about the Palestinians?
:41:18
- Yes, what about the Palestinians?
- Yeah, what about the Palestinians?
:41:24
I don't think even Abe Lincoln himself
could solve that one.
:41:27
- But let's say you're president.
- Yeah, let's say you was president.
:41:31
What would you do?
:41:33
It's simple. If the UN would remove the
Verner Amendment from Resolution 165,
:41:38
we'd have the authority
to do what needs to be done.
:41:43
Can I get anyone anything?
:41:46
I'd love a drink.
:41:50
Excuse us.
:41:52
Isn't she terrific?
:41:53
Hell, I'm knocked out.
:41:55
- She's right about the Verner Amendment.
- Absolutely.
:41:58
Is it the economy of the state
that worries you, Harry, or your own?
