Gone along way. Unfortunately the russian government, vladimir coo and are not famed for this kind of sensitivity towards ethnic minorities. Sergei reminds us in 2010 they went to the vancouver olympics, sending out the wrong signal given that the cossacks associated with the destruction of the native peoples. I dont anticipate, wouldnt anticipate any kind of effort by sarkhasian to disrupt the games. If there is these are islamists, not sarkhasian nationalists. We have seen islamists targeting people with a National Agenda in places like bulgaria in the north caucusus, we have seen a few fascinations of academics who have been trying to portray non islamist identity for the sarkhasians. Just to finally a few extra words about the north caucusus. I should also mention another reason abkhazia is problematic which no one has mentioned so i should mention september 9th the russian vice consul in abkhazia was assassinated, the main suspect is a chechen who was wounded in georgia. That is a
United and russia disagree on the outcome. We actually agree on the outcomes. In each of the case where we disagree where the challenges in both case how you get to the outcomes. Thats where all the diplomacy and the negotiations and the meetings are focused. We agree in iran without a Nuclear Weapons program and a nuclear a Peaceful Nuclear program under appropriate International Law monitoring. We agree on that. We have to different views about how you get to that. We worked out a common approach were now implementing. On syria, similarly we agree we want syria with a government that is answerable, accountable to its own people. We agree that can only be reached ultimately through a political process. Through negotiations and the political process. Question agree we do not want syria to be an environment in which extremism is implemented and able to operate threatening not only the people of syria but also syrias neighbors. Where we struggle to find a common approach in how to get th

Office, so can it be said that everything Martha Washington did, likewise. It was a businesslike relationship. But not without affection. They had a deep respect for each other. She owned most of this whole block, going back a couple of acres. She owned a huge chunk of what williamsburg was. There was a lot of tragedy in Martha Washingtons life. She lost her first husband. She was raised a rich woman. What that means in the 18th century, that is not necessarily what it means today. She brings with her to mount vernon 12 house slaves.

At the end of this 90 minute period i expect we will know more than we already do about these critically important events. So, our panel is extraordinary. Most of us, if not all of us have seen congres
