in 2007, richard armitage and i chaired a commission at the csis on smart power which was bipartisan.and the idea was to have a group of significant republicans and significant demo talk about exactly that, how do you get beyond the idiosyncrasies of personality to be something which is more broadly understood in the policy discourse? jim lochner has had this project to think about how you read -- reorganized the government. cnas makes a contribution here. many places are beginning to think about this, so it is not going to happen quickly, but if it just relies on personality, you are right, then it can be changed as the personality changes but if you get a broader consensus or understanding of the points i'm trying to make in this book about the need for a smart power strategy and if you in fact get into the minds of congress and the press and gradually politicians start telling that more broadly to the electorate than maybe it may be less personality dependent. but you know in a democracy, it basically depends on consensus from the low. it is not a fast process. >> joe, thank you ve
