First, I need to apologize to the students in American foreign policy. I had told you that I was going to ask questions on the quiz from 13 February, but the quiz actually had questions from another date on the syllabus. This was a serious mistake on my part since I know that there is a strategy to studying, and I sabotaged that strategy. I haven’t decided how to atone for my sins, but I will. Perhaps I will drop the grades for the quiz on 15 February. Maybe I will count them only if the scores are higher than any student’s overall average without them. I am a creative person, so somehow I will make it up to you. In the meantime, please accept my apologies.

The UN is scrambling to try to prove its relevance to the deteriorating situation in Syria. There seems to some movement in the Russian position, but it is not enough yet to make a difference. But the Russians are clearly feeling the heat of international public opinion. Perversely, the instability in the Middle East has led to large economic benefits to Russia–oil price increases are bolstering the Russian economy.
