After listening to Jim Baker and Lee Hamilton talk about the issue. I dont think any of us expect there to be any real process in a dialogue with Iran at a subcabinet level. but I think we also realize that you need to have that kind of a conversation initially and let the Iranians be an obstruction themselves. so we can then isolate them internationally and also perhaps drive a wedge between the Iranian Government and the Syrian Government. I think it makes absolutely no sense for the Syrians to be engaged in destructive behavior in Iraq. given the fact that they have more than 1 million refugees. primarily Sunni. who are in Syria. Of course. Syria is ruled by Allawites. who represent about 10 percent of that country.
