I'm in wholesale agreement with three broad points you made. One, having the kinds of preventive measures in place to prevent being a destination for illicit capital is incredibly important. Two, countries, particularly western democracies, are better together, which is to say that in targeting particular problems, whether it's human rights abuses, WMD proliferation, or counterterrorism—you name the sort of illicit activity—western democracies and others are far more effective when they act in concert. Three, I think Magnitsky is a particular example of two things, one being the importance of reputation and the effect that imposing sanctions can have on reputation and in reinforcing the idea that human rights abuses are unacceptable, and the second, and sort of in relation, is the breadth of the activity in concert with allies.
There were unintended consequences. No action in the international arena is without a consequence, and sometimes there are unintended or unanticipated consequences, but that doesn't mean that the act in the first instance is inappropriate.
