Gwen Ifill

My god, will she be missed. She was one of a kind: enormously charming, intelligent,warm, gracious, talented, inspirational, dignified and so much more. What a tremendous, wonderful woman. She will be terribly missed, in a present day culture which rarely projects these qualities.
Ifill was a veteran Washington journalist who covered seven presidential campaigns and moderated the vice presidential debates in 2004 and 2008.

Syria

As in Rwanda, the world frets and worries and debates and threatens and denounces ad infinitum ad nauseum, while innocent people are being murdered by their own government.

President Obama, like the European leaders, has proven that he is one of those people who is incapable of true outrage against moral turpitude.

There are no heroes here, neither presently nor historically.

Turkey, while trying to broker a ceasefire, still refuses to admit to the murder of over one million Armenians and makes it a crime even to say it occurred.

After the communists took over in China more than 20 million people were murdered.  Under Stalin more than 20 million also were murdered.  Naturally, China and Russia are the strongest supporters of Syria although the ultimate honors go to Hezbollah and Iran.

How interesting that the people who detest Israel the most have little or nothing to say against Syria.

It's called "selective outrage."
