  1. There are reasons to oppose a unilateral path to a #Palestinian state but #Gaza is a weak argument. Statehood includes self-determination. 5:22 AM May 31st via web
  2. Talked #Syria and the campaign @Hardball @MSNBC. Arming the opposition - and who - sounds good on the stump, but is not sound policy. 3:34 PM May 30th via Twitter for iPhone
  3. It is hard to believe that the last time #AungSanSuuKyi traveled outside #Burma, the Soviet Union still existed. 4:39 PM May 29th via web
  4. An agreement on #Iran's nuclear program is more likely in 2013 than 2012. Time favors all sides. My analysis @BBCNews bbc.in/KzEgmm 4:12 PM May 28th via Tweet Button
  5. Reminded what a strategic thinker #RichardHolbrooke was. There is no hope if #Afghanistan remains hooked on opium. nyti.ms/JWSYq4 7:03 AM May 27th via Tweet Button
  6. The problem with #Yemen as a precedent for #Syria is the question of immunity. Will #Assad will be held accountable? nyti.ms/LoEJsZ 6:58 AM May 27th via Tweet Button
  7. #Guantanamo's impact on #publicdiplomacy: We cannot reset relations with the #Islamic world until we close it. nyti.ms/JCGIfq @IPDGC 8:39 AM May 26th via Tweet Button
  8. A #Morsi-#Shafiq runoff would represent a contest between two of #Egypt's strongest institutions, the #MuslimBrotherhood and the military. 1:12 PM May 25th via web
  9. The U.S. is angry over the #Afridi verdict but bears some responsibility. We outed him without thinking through how #Pakistan would react. 4:35 AM May 25th via web
  10. Political realities may limit what all sides of the #Iran nuclear question can do and accept. A breakthrough may have to wait until 2013. 1:49 PM May 24th via web
  11. Joined @NIACouncil discussion on #Baghdad talks. This is a real diplomatic process that can develop if it becomes a real negotiation. 1:34 PM May 24th via Twitter for iPhone
  12. The U.S. says there is no basis to hold #ShakilAfridi. #Israel says the same thing about #JonathanPollard. Espionage is a messy business. 3:12 PM May 23rd via web
  13. While convicting #ShakilAfridi who helped find #BinLaden, we're reminded #Pakistan has yet to explain who helped him hide for so long. 3:07 PM May 23rd via web
  14. #Pakistan is still embarrassed by the #BinLaden operation and #ShakilAfridi is a useful political target. It will take time to resolve. 2:59 PM May 23rd via web
  15. The U.S. should seek the release of #ShakilAfridi for supporting the #BinLaden operation. but to #Pakistan this is salt in an open wound. 2:56 PM May 23rd via web
  16. #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. 5:04 AM May 23rd via web
  17. 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. 4:46 AM May 23rd via web
  18. #Pakistan's decision to block #Twitter is another sign of the civilian government's weakness. It literally cannot afford such intolerance. 7:54 AM May 20th via web
  19. When #AlMegrahi was released by #Scotland on humanitarian grounds in 2009, who would have thought he would outlive #Qaddafi, his patron? 7:17 AM May 20th via web
  20. While military action could buy time, #Iran's likely response is to actually build a nuclear weapon, the very thing we want to avoid. 7:11 AM May 20th via web
