This will not be resolved unless we or they change. Neither side is likely to do that anytime soon. So if we are to

cooperate to mutual advantage in less contentious arenas, we must manage the bilateral tensions that differing

moral judgments about more controversial matters make inevitable. To do this, we must not only understand why each

side feels as it does, but what it is and isn't actually doing and what the real — as opposed to the imagined —

consequences of what it is doing are likely to be. Such insights are even more clearly essential when it comes to

elements of our bilateral and global interactions that affect our vital interests in economic prosperity, national

well-being or security. Here the stakes are considerably higher for both societies.
