#Iran and the U.S. have had few constructive interactions since axis of evil. Even small problems have been big deals. This will be hard.
There is a diplomatic opening with #Iran, but talks face major obstacles. After 30 years of tension, we don't know each other very well.
The threat of military action must be credible, but a bright red line could impede a diplomatic solution with #Iran.
U.S. #engagement reinforced international pressure on #Iran and #NorthKorea. Containing these rogues was never just about dialogue. @IPDGC
@SlaughterAM compares an unplugged #Iran to #NorthKorea, but many #Iranians will know what they lost and who to blame.
#Pakistan's decision to block #Twitter is another sign of the civilian government's weakness. It literally cannot afford such intolerance.
The release of U.S. military hardware to #Bahrain is a big bet on government reformers. Progress is not yet evident.
Nous sommes tous les Francais et les Grecs. New governments in Europe will affect the global economy and in turn maybe the U.S. election.
Great effort by #RyanCrocker, @USEmbassyKabul and #Afghan government to complete a new partnership agreement despite the recent turmoil.
For a generation of government spokespeople, one thing you feared hearing was, "Mike Wallace is working on a story." Never good news.
While military action could buy time, #Iran's likely response is to actually build a nuclear weapon, the very thing we want to avoid.
The threat of military action must be credible, but a bright red line could impede a diplomatic solution with #Iran.
Actions communicate, and so does the bounty offer for information on #HafizSaeed, linked to #LeT and hiding in plain sight in #Pakistan.
New Take Five Blog @IPDGC. Prior to military action against #Iran, the U.S. must cultivate regional public opinion.
#Libya, supported by the #ArabLeague and #UN, is a model for stronger action on #Syria, but #Russia and #China want to make it extinct.
The threat of military action must be credible, but a bright red line could impede a diplomatic solution with #Iran.
During the Cold War, we relished debating adversaries. We were confident our ideas were better. So why are #Cuban visitors a threat to us?
#Obama's approach to #MissileDefense is flexible, not theological. Adjustments can be made based on the threat and regional concerns.
#Iran's threats must be viewed in economic more than military terms. They are (successfully) making the West pay for new sanctions.
Congratulations to #HermanCain. A simple, cogent and correct statement. Cybersecurity is a compelling national security threat. #CNNdebate
The rapid resolution of the #ChenGuangcheng case says a lot about the complicated but mature U.S.-China relationship.
The intense limelight on #China will help #ChenGuangcheng, but as @CurrentSpitzer suggested, Chen's support network will be at risk.
Discussed the #Chen case @NowWithAlex @MSNBC. The #publicdiplomacy fallout will be on perceptions of human rights in #China. @IPDGC
Enjoyed joining fellow @Holy_Cross alum @Hardball_Chris Matthews to talk foreign policy, this time the unfolding #Chen case in #China.
Great discussion @NOWwithAlex @MSNBC. The U.S.- #China relationship is arguably the most consequential of the 21st Century.

With #Afghanistan winding down, the proposed #House increase in the defense budget is a political end in itself without strategic logic.
Talked #Afghanistan @Current with @JenGranholm. U.S. forces will remain engaged past 2014 because the work doesn't end when the war does.
There will be varied opinions of what the latest #Afghanistan photos depict, but there should be no issue with @latimes publishing them.
The major question from the #Afghanistan attacks is whether the #Taliban and allies are prepared to negotiate. @IPDGC
The U.S. faces strategic wild cards regarding #Pakistan and #Afghanistan that make the future uncertain. @IPDGC
The threat of military action must be credible, but a bright red line could impede a diplomatic solution with #Iran.
As discussed @TheTakeaway, as U.S. diplomats met #Chen and #Chinese officials offered a student visa, a possible solution emerges. @IPDGC
The @StateDept response to the #Gulnaz case falls short. The proposed #Afghan solution is offensive. We should say so.
The loss of faith in the Oslo process is understandable but it is hard to see how #Palestinians gain from abandoning the two-state solution.
The fact that #Iran is having trouble with its nuclear program provides more time to work the problem, but there is no easy solution.
#Iran and the U.S. have had few constructive interactions since axis of evil. Even small problems have been big deals. This will be hard.
#Abdulmutallab was tried and convicted in a U.S. court of law. During a successful interrogation, he provided a great deal of intelligence.
#Syria says it has reached a deal with the Arab League to end months of unrest. The basic question is, do the Syrian people get a vote?
#AlQaeda was having a bad year already, given its lack of relevance in current events. #OsamabinLaden's death is still a really big deal.
Told @HuffingtonPost that the budget deal is upside down. Congress raises defense spending even as overseas commitments are being reduced.
There is a diplomatic opening with #Iran, but talks face major obstacles. After 30 years of tension, we don't know each other very well.
The #Taliban decision to open an office in #Qatar is a signal of a potential willingness to negotiate, but questions and obstacles remain.
