She is strong woman. She has faced a great deal of loss during these years.

My sincerest sympathies to all those in the State Department and to a very adept Hillary Clinton. 

She is always the coolest head in the room.

But, her losses have been significant; all the way from the earthquake in Haiti to Holbrooke and not this.

Her victories have been remarkable as well.

NAYPYITAW (Reuters) - A law intended (click title to entry - thank you) to accelerate foreign investment in Myanmar will be signed soon by the president after pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi helped kill a clause that would have protected crony businessmen, a government minister said on Wednesday....


No one could predict the attack in Benghazi. No one can predict the impact of the internet. 

Libya is a dangerous place. These new governments are struggling with their own focus. In Egypt, the military tried to abandon the new President, so to think there is unified forces to protect USA interests is a bit unrealistic. The people venturing into these countries are brave. Extremely brave. There will come a moment in Libya when the people that did this are realized and found to have killed an ally. There will be regrets.

My sympathies to everyone involved.
