dealing with the aftermath of that silly faces serious problems the middle east with iran, the sunni shiite rivalry which is taking a different direction. we are facing challenges without a white house staff but somebody like president nixon was able to bring to bear. we've seen a great deal of turnover in the white house the last six or seven months. i saw it in the times and wall street journal as well, ten to 12 people that lasted less than six months. my point isn't to say this one should have stayed were gone but if we had this kind of turnover, the loser is the united states of america because we have a government that appears in may well be inherently unstable. so i am saddened by what i see and what my party the democrats are not going to cooperate because we cannot address the challenges we have in that kind of political approach we have. in the book america in the age of trump but i would like to do is articulate the propositions and then go back through some of the solutions proposed in the book. let me be very clear we make the argument both implicitly and explicitly if there ar

you could be shiite and be living next door to a sunni. the idea that this overtaking of sectarianism is something that has always been present but has been amplified by the influence of outsiders like iran and has been influenced by that. and other terrorist organizations. iraq was not a radical country. saddam hussein started acting that way and sort of found religion after the 1991 gulf war. he wanted to be able to attract more of those folks so that he could then use them to increase his fear of influence. understanding the immediate realities how reliable would you say that the u.s. is a partner to that. how much of a hit and credibility do we take by walking away from admission. i think about syria today. how bad is it. with the skittishness of the public and the reliability of the news media. to paint a picture. it's a very good question. there very long view. some people may say look maybe that's one of the reasons why this wasn't in work because as a country we were not necessarily going to have the stamina to do this for the long
