Obama style foreign policy clashes with reality
George Will argues Obama’s pursuit of “smart diplomacy” risks deeper U S military intervention from Libya to Syria. He criticizes rhetoric over legality and calls for halting talk to avoid a costly, unwinnable third or fourth intervention that won’t decisively shift events in Syria or the region.

Fifty years later freedom rings in America in Washington
Fifty years after the March on Washington thousands gathered amid heat and rain to honor Martin Luther King Jr. and reflect on progress. Obama stressed continued work toward equality as Clinton Lewis and others urged action, noting the unfulfilled goals including gender equity and voting rights. A bell rang at 3 pm marking the moment King spoke, with calls to let freedom ring from every region.
