Russia and Iran are taking part, and all seem to agree on a path toward elections in Syria in the not-too-distant future. Mr. Kerry was very upbeat, and it was good to hear nothing about bombs for a change.

I heard Obama's press conference...Yes and yes! I heard Obama's press conference live and was moved and wished that it could be played over and over, especially in Congress and at every school. The media should be quoting it on the front "pages" of their papers and sites, but, alas.<br />According to The Times, Hillary just said that our leadership role should be "rallying our partners and allies, pulling countries off the sidelines." If that means also negotiating with Russia and Iran, good. I'd like to know now what she thinks about the no-fly zone after Obama's excellent analysis of reasons it wouldn't work. Also see Paul Krugman's article in yesterday's Times, "Fearing Fear Itself." Thanks, Leon. ElaineElaine Unkelessnoreply@blogger.com
