nick burns, first to you. you've been involved in negotiations like this. next six months are critical. i talked to david al bright earlier who has been advising congress on what comes next. and iran is going to have to agree that it had a weapons program and agree as to everything it did in the past in order to meet the standard to have all of the sanctions lifted and have a real deal put in place. do you contemplate that that is going -- at any point be acceptable to the iranian regime? >> well, that's the key question, andrea. we don't know the answer to that question. but i think president obama has been right to get us to this point. i served as the iran negotiator for president bush but not president clinton. they have tried very hard to try to think about getting iranians to give up the ambition for nuclear weapons and ensure the rest of the world they are going to content themselves with a very limited con strained civil nuclear program. this next round of negotiations in the next several months will be extremely difficult because iran is going to b

for more about in i'm joined by former diplomat ambassador nick burns, now a harvard kennedy professor global post columnist. you are a russian expert. when we first met you were at the nsc as an expert on russia. are the russians too defensive about having this covered and asking for enough help? will they permit the u.s. to intervene if necessary? >> andrea, i think the russians are showing up, very defensive about this. obviously if people stay away from the games, they don't achieve the economic purpose they had in mind. putin has a lot riding on these games in terms of his own credibility and prestige and sense of russian nationalism. i think that the russians need to be more transparent publicly, to let people know what they think the threat is and what they are doing to counteract it. it's not good enough in the current day and age, trust us, everything is okay, when these stories about black widows and terrorists threatening these games. as you suggest, andrea, they really need to reach out to germany, to the united states, to turkey, countries with real experience in fighting

nicholas burns, senior foreign afirs columnist and jeffrey goldberg. nickailure of the al maliki government. the border between iraq and syria is meaningless from all reporting. >> i think you're right. i think we're looking at two big developments in the middle east. one is the fact that we're beginning to see a regional war taking shape growing out of the syrian civil war. if you look at the violence in lebanon and syria and iraq and the fact there are shia/sunni passions and divisions and fights in each of those places and sometimes the same groups in each of those places. and secondly, we're seeing the worst violence in iraq since 2006 and 2007. the u.n. said last year 8,800 iraqis died and you've just seen this horrific violence in anbar province in fallujah and ramadi over the weekend. prime minister al maliki has driven the sunni population and leadership away and needs to do with president bush and petraeus did during the surge, win back the loyalty of those tribal leaders in anbar to the west and north of baghdad. >> criticism this weekend from sen

joining me is nick burns, former undersecretary of state, who was also u.s. ambassador to nato. lways good to see you. want to get your perspective here. we saw recently secretary of state john kerry saying the u.s. is not putting boots on the ground. but what can the united states do to stop the fighting? >> well, suzanne, secretary kerry is right. there is not a chance the united states will put american troops back into iraq. but the united states has been doing two things. first, the u.s. has been supporting prime minister maliki since he took power many years ago in both the obama and bush administrations, and you see the u.s. providing political advice to prime minister maliki, hoping he can keep it together, because being pushed apart by these factions. secondly, prime minister maliki has pursued very ineffective policies towards the sunni population. he has in effect driven them away. and he's not inspired any confidence that his government will rest sunni interests as well as shia interests. so the united states is pushing prime minister maliki to be more effective in ce
