And because if you look at least in Yemen, sometimes even Kuwait and Bahrain, you look to the whole US framing in the late '90s to the 2000s was this new democracies, rising democracies, you know, what they called by that time, and then it became just Al-Qaeda, Al-Qaeda, Al-Qaeda, Al-Qaeda, and anything beyond that.
