I would like that to be true. I have few comments to make here because people are making good ones that I can't significantly improve on. I think Biden is performing well. I think Blinken is performing VERY well. But I don't have a sense of progress. Just a sense of horrible dejas vu with a little bit of dejas new which is horrible.

I know that progress is possible. But possible ain't yet 'probable'. And too few of us have a vision of what progress looks like. For me it has been that Irish saying (or a saying from a book I bought in Eason's in Dublin many years ago): "It's handy when people don't die."
