Name your dream cabinet

Foreign Policy asked ten names who had time to answer "10 of the world’s top thinkers" to pick their dream foreign policy cabinet for the next administration. A lot of the names are pretty silly, but what's fascinating is that five of them recommended keeping Robert Gates on as Secretary of Defense. Not that anyone asked, but here would be my dream team for the next administration, based on all of five minutes of pondering:

Secretary of State: Bob Zoellick
Secretary of Defense: Robert Gates
Secretary of the Treasury: Tim Geithner
National Security Advisor: James Steinberg
Director of National Intelligence: Amy Zegart
U.N. Ambassador: Francis Fukuyama Dennis Ross (dammit, forgot about him; hat tip to Pejman Yousefzadeh).

Readers are invited to submit their dream team cabinets as well.
