Well it's interesting. You have this overture, you're sending envoys to Syria, you've told Israelis and Palestinians on this trip that peace talks are inescapable. You've talked about this fresh start with Russia. This is a lot of diplomatic outreach in one week.
Yes, it does feel like a lot. But, I think we have a sense of urgency in the Obama administration. We believe that there are a lot of challenges and threats that we have inherited that we have to address. But there are also opportunities, and we are being extremely vigorous in our outreach. Because we're testing waters, we're determining what is possible. We're turning new pages and resetting buttons. And we're doing all kinds of efforts to try to create more partners and fewer adversaries.

I think if they are dumb enough to come over the berm, we will have no difficulty determining who our enemy is.
