Getting through these dark times
Foreign policy whiz Samantha Power sheds light on a legendary diplomat killed in Iraq, advising Barack Obama and how America can emerge from the Bush era.
Having won the Pulitzer in 2003 for A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide” she’s pub’ing her new book “Chasing the Flame: Sergio Vieira de Mello and the Fight to Save the World.” It’s about the UN envoy and great hope for peace in the Middle East who was killed in a terrorist bombing early in our occupation of Iraq.
She’s a good friend, maybe because she’s one of the only people I know who is both destined for greatness and just plain cool as hell. Latest proof: she works for Obama. My hat, as always, is off to her.
