understand there is a feeling in diplomacy, if you think flattery doesn t get you anywhere, you haven t been properly flattered. but is this the right time to marginalize iran, given that rouhani was just reelected and that signals that iranians want to be more modern. they want a more moderate voice. that s i think the most interesting, important question about american foreign policy in the middle east going forward. can you really construct a stable, middle east by completely excluding iran, by essentially having an anti-shia foreign policy. remember it s not just iran. iraq is a shia majority country and the united states has an alliance with the shia country. right now what you have is a middle east out of balance between the shias and the sunnis. you see that playing out in syria, in iraq, in yemen, almost all over you have these tensions. you probably need to find some kind of stability that does involve both sides.
