I apologize for not posting yesterday, but I was at the State Department for the Women in Public Service Project.  It was an extraordinary, but overwhelming, event.  Many, many good, thoughtful, and interesting ideas.  But it is hard to assimilate.  There will be many more meetings and I look forward to trying to make some of these ideas real with some wonderful, inspiring people.

Analysts are assessing the results of the climate change talks at Durban.  Here’s a Chinese take on the talks.  A view from Malta.  India.  And Russia.  It appears as if few are satisfied with the results of the conference.

The eurozone crisis continues to unfold.  The Brussels summit appears to have bought some time, but the long-term trend is still profoundly negative.  Belgium’s credit rating was downgraded.

More on the drone that landed/crashed in Iran.  The story is intriguing, both plausible and implausible at the same time.  I doubt that we’ll ever know the truth.
