Anyone who invests the prestige of his office in a summit must know precisely why he is in the room and must anticipate--and guard against--harmful unintended consequences. But in a nuclear world where the U.S. cannot stamp out all threats militarily, our leaders should begin a pragmatic debate about when, how and for what to engage rather than reduce America's options to a false choice between appeasement...
