We Need To Deter The Palestinians In

I Think Obama Is Right When He Talks About The Rule Of Law As A Cornerstone Of What The United States Should Stand For.

You Could Be In The United Nations Office All Night Every Night And Still Feel Like You Were Not Making A Sufficient Dent In The World's Problems. I Think The Key Is Prioritization. But Every Job Presents The Tyranny Of The Inbox, Of Allowing The Urgent To Crowd Out The Important. So We Have To Have Our Lodestars.

From Richard Holbrooke - And I Miss Him Every Day - I Learned Two Things. One, Prioritization: Never Take Your Eye Off The Longer-term Reforms. The Other Thing Is, He Was A Hell Of A Schmoozer! So I Should Take Advantage Of My Irish Love Of Beer And Gift Of The Gab, And Build Relationships. That's A Cherished Part Of The Job, Asking Someone, "how Did You Get To Be The Rwandan Ambassador?" I Try To Take Advantage Of The Fact That I Hope To Be Here At Least Until The President's Term Ends Getting To Know My Colleagues.

Historical Hypocrites Have Themselves Carried Out The Very Human Rights Abuses That They Suddenly Decide Warrant Intervention Elsewhere.

I Happen To Miss The Constitution; I Thought It Was A Good Document.
