 I flattened the attention page to what we had to say about the situation in the United States. It's true that I'm really a student of society and of people rather than a student of water or water management. But my audiences have been flattening enough to pay attention even if I appear to address issues much wider than water, which I shall be doing today. I should point out though that there is a school of thought in the United States that believes that Obama wouldn't have made it but for the storm a week before the election. So in other words, water helped him. Water helped him along. And it's definitely an arguable point of view because it gave him an opportunity to appear, to be in charge and to be in control of affairs at a time where Israel didn't know what to do, to compete. But my themes would be wider than water, but on the other hand, narrow in the sense that I will address perspectives from an Islamic and from an African point of view. So I'll address some of the issues here. I'll have to leave.
