It is a case that hes gone beyond anything thats acceptable. The question is, can you follow the path of what jessica was raising. Is the fatigue and the sense of threat from isis enough to create some kind of convergence there. I dont know. The short answer is i dont know the answer. Im a big believer this also goes back to one of the points that sam used to also raise. If theres one thing that guided sam more than anything else, it was that he said, dont fall in love with your own ideas. And if you think youre right, thats fine. But why dont you test your ideas . What do you lose if you test your ideas . The short answer is, you dont lose a lot. So id be quite open to testing certain things, but i also know that if it looks like we shouldnt assume necessarily that having the sunnis with us is a given if it looks like were drawing too close to the iranians, which has clearly been a sensitivity for the obama administration.

Thats the realist part. Whats the constructive part . The constructive part is this. If you look at the possibility of constructing genuine public goods between china and the u. S. , both bilaterally, regionally, and globally, the scope is, in fact, quite wide. If you look at a bilaterally, im a strong proponent of the early conclusion of the bilateral treaty for a simple reason. That is the more the two economies become enmeshed through investment, rather than just through trade, then, frankly, the more inseparable they become and the more their mutual interests in each others progress and advance becomes an indelible imprint within each country. So causing that investment treaty to come into being i think is a genuine public good. Because in the long term it will transform many elements of the relationship.
