remember the breakup of yugoslavia, that was bad enough when you have nations being reborn, with croatial the rest. this is nationality being eclipsed by sectarian. it's much more volatile and dangerous. there's two sides. pat moynahan talked about when modernity came, premodern forces, religion and ethnicity would lose their history-shaping power. that's all we read about now days are these pre-modern forces dominating the modern age. second, i think if you look at this, region wide chaos, you realize how real is the theory we left 10, 20,000 forces in iraq none of this would be happening. this is beyond our power to control with the few forward deployed troops. >> and then, adding to all of this of course, the on-going and intensifying u.s. and allied talks with iran about its nuclear program. we asked you for questions for the panel and we got this on facebook from joy flick. she writes -- why is anyone taking this so-called iranian nuclear deal, in quotes, seriously when by kerry's own admission it's unenforceable and not legally binding. i have to sign a more binding negotiation wit
