"What do you know about Samantha Power?"
My curious mother wanted to know from her blog reading son, having seen the video below the fold showing Samantha Power speaking at Columbia 3/28/11 (at the same time as Pres. Obama). Not knowing about her role in the run up to Libya, my mother was blown away by her ability to address well some of the most difficult issues facing America internationally and was curious how she fit into current events. I told my mother what little I had heard and watched the video myself as soon as I had a bit of time over the weekend. I like to get a sense of the personalities involved in our governance by watching them and this is some good stuff from an emerging player. I found it useful in my own mind to fill in the narrative of "the woman who took us to war" with a few of her own words. Could this be the next generation of American diplomacy taking shape?
Good tip mom!
