Tuesday's Russian/Syrian/Israeli/French fracas drove home to me how absolutely powerless I am in the face of events. Of course I know that I have no control over what various militaries do half a world away.

Back in the day, there was I/P and RKBM. There was the Purge. Volleyball1? Then there was the Ides of March.

Brilliant article by Daniel Lazare at Consortium News. The few parts I have not included are also worth reading.
