pollock forces your eyes to keep moving. there's tremendous energy and variety here and such delicate colors. pollock gave some advice once to people who asked him how to look at his painting and all modern art, like beasts of the sea by henri matisse. "try to receive "what the painting has to offer," he said. "it should be enjoyed just as music is enjoyed. "you may like it, or you may not. at least give it a chance." joshua johnston painted these little boys in 1807. he was an extraordinary artist. johnston was the first important black artist in the united states. he was born about 1770, and we think he had been a slave. johnston's painting is naive in comparison with pollock's and manet's, but he's a wonderful painter, too. we think he purchased his freedom with portraits like this. johnston developed a distinctive style. this is characteristic. if i know something about the artists themselves, i think it makes looking more fun. in the 17th century, the dutch were prosperous and powerful and pleased with themselves. they

david pollock, no guarantees? >> no, there are not any guarantees, but i agree on this point, speaking of the u.s. track record is quite good. there are some examples of unintended consequences and a backlash or backfire of our policy, but there are many many other examples. when american support, either for governments or for guerillas, as case may be, had bad affect only for the united states, about other countries. for egypt, that's the case, and i think it will continue to be the case. >> steven, do you agree? >> i think what david is talking about here is a dilemma that american policymakers face. the long run is made up of a lot of short runs, and until they can figure out how to secure american interests over the short run, until we get to the longer run, where we all believe that democratic countries are more stable and more in line with american interesting, until they do that, countries are massively unstable. just look at egypt. until we can look at that question, we are going to default to supporting t

and david pollock is a fellow of new age policy. >> it's the second anniversary of the longest serving president hosni mubarak being ousted. the regime took over and in many ways it seems to be a return to that era, right. i mean we have got all these reports of oppression before the vote. we see violence clashes. one has to ask themselves, is egypt better off today than it was when he was in office. >> it's a good question, a fair question. there has been a lot of twists and turns since hosni mubarak fell three years ago. we had a long period of military rule under the supreme council of armed forces ceding control to mohamed morsi, and then the coup of july 2013. there's every indication that some semblance of the old order that was supposed to have been done away with result of the uprising is coming back the new constitution upon which people were voting lays out important personal and political freedoms and institutionalized the autonomous role of the military, and egyptian constitution lays out personal and political freedoms only to have them undermined by laws and actions of th

technical and logistical constraints that are ahead of us if you read the piece by bottle einhorn and ken pollock committee will see a sort of nightmare scenario where those talks break down which is certainly not outside the room a possibility, but at this point they're in it for the long haul because that is where the payoff is. on the flip side, the difficulty will be here in washington. clearly the administration has a fine of its hand shift that is nowhere near over. and it also some of our key allies in the region. i don't think any of those disputes or obstacles to the administration here are likely to get easier in the short term. >> before i turned out to the audience, the one where we have not brought up in this discussion is syria. and so i just wanted to ask to step in and this. talk first of the question of given the incredibly warm collegial atmosphere the visitors opening in geneva, what you expect to come out of this. steve of the question of how the russian president will play this >> i'm curious to hear steves answer because i actually think that a lot of the american diplomacy
