Monday,Brooklyn September Daily Eagle 16, 2013• Monday, • Brooklyn September Daily 16, Eagle 2013 • 3 eview and Comment RTalks on Syria: A Balance Of Ideals, Interests If each American could be a fly on the wall during the Russian-U.S. ne- gotiations over Syria, they might witness a traditional clash between Rus- sian “realism” over the country’s own national interests and American “ide- alism” over a moral issue like chemical weapons. This type of confrontation has already played out over Syria – in pub- lic. On Tuesday, for example, President Obama said the United States was an “exceptional” nation that must stand for global values, such as the in- ternational chemical weapons ban. On Thursday, Russian President Vladi- mir Putin denounced such an American presumption of superiority as “ex- tremely dangerous.” Mr. Obama said the U.S. has been “the anchor of global security” based on its unique “burden of leadership.” Mr. Putin says the US must act abroad only with the approval of the United Nations Security Council – meaning, only without Moscow’s veto – as this was in America’s “long-term interest.” (He didn’t describe it as an ideal.) This fundamental conflict, in which Russia operates almost solely on geo- political interests and power relationships while the U.S. usually starts out as- serting its ideals, is what must be resolved in the talks over Syria. Then per- haps the two countries can come up with a diplomatic resolution on Syria’s chemical weapons. (Basic facts also need resolving: Putin disputes Obama’s statement that the Assad regime carried out the Aug. 21 gas attack.) Russia’s many insecurities – about potential enemies, its declining pop- ulation, its unstable politics – keep its leaders focused on interests more than ideals. Putin’s domestic interests drive him to create the illusion of Russia as a great power. But he is often reminded otherwise. His authoritar- ian government, for example, is highly dependent on oil and gas exports, yet this week he learned the U.S. will overtake Russia this year in the pro- duction of liquid fuels such as crude oil. The U.S. itself is often divided between two similar foreign-policy camps – the “realists” (such as Henry Kissinger) and the “idealists” (such as Woodrow Wilson). In his address to the nation, Obama jumped between the two camps, trying to appeal to both, which may account for the poor reception of the speech among the foreign-policy elite. Resolving this apparent clash in the U.S. has not always been easy. But it is possible when there is a confluence of narrow national interests and broader principles and moral imperatives. Take the Monroe Doctrine, set down in 1823, that insists no foreign power can dominate Latin America – for the interest of U.S. security – while also asserting the ideal of self-rule in the region. Or consider that U.S. pres- idents during the cold war who sought to protect U.S. interests in western Europe while also promoting liberty in communist-dominated countries. When realists and idealists are more sensitive to each other’s basic rea- soning, common ground is possible. The principle and the practical over- lap. This is not new for the U.S. Thomas Jefferson said that America’s “in- terests soundly calculated, will ever be found inseparable from our mor- al duties.” If there is a fly on the wall in the U.S.-Russia talks, perhaps it can say those words.

Monday, September 16, 2013 • Brooklyn Daily Eagle • 7 Photoville Transforms Brooklyn Bridge Park into Pop Up Village Freight Containers Become Spaces for Photo-filled Festivities

Have you noticed the white boxes in Brooklyn Bridge Park? Turns out they’re the framework for Photoville, a new photo-centric festival that premiered last summer in the guise of freight contain- ers. Photoville will return to Brooklyn Bridge Park’s Pier 5 from Sept. 19 – 29 to offer exhibitions, lectures, workshops and nighttime projections. Be sure to bring your appetite — the festival will include a beer and food garden that features delicious grub from a variety of local vendors. Eagle photo by Will Hasty Scooter Parking at P.S. 29

Free parking, no alternate side! Scooters and helmets hanging on the fencing surrounding Cobble Hill’s P.S. 29 indicate the start of a new tradition. Families are welcome to leave the accoutrements of the neighborhood’s favorite mode of kiddie transport at school during the day. But as locks are not provided, parents are cautioned to do so at their own risk. Photo by Trudy Whitman
