Realists in agreement!
David Ignatius is one of the best writers on the Washington Post Op-Ed page. While that is faint praise, he is worth reading. His column on Iran this week and who Obama should ask to lead the approach on Iran and the nuclear question is excellent.
Although talking to Zbigniew Brzezinski and Brent Scowcroft to find out if a Republican and a Democrat can agree on foreign policy is a little silly. There isn't a Republican/Democrat divide in foreign policy; there is a realist/idealist divide. Zbigniew and Scowcroft are both realists. It is not exactly shocking that they agree.
P.S. And I might go with George Carlin regarding someone named Brent.
