The "mission" in Syria is definitely not accomplished; the U.S. HAS no clear mission. A genuine humanitarian mission would mean taking refugees & pushing others to do so, creating safe zones, punishing Assad for barrel bombs & indiscriminate attacks. #syriastrikes.

It is agony to think about what these kids' parents must be going through to try to send their kids to safety without them. We are going to need many more of these flights, with parents as well.

One key question to ask, under both national and international law, is whether we WANT a world where this is legal. Can Russia, Iran, other countries designate the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs a war criminal or terrorist and take him out at a Canadian airport?.

I cannot hold my head up as an American in the world today. We encouraged Syrians to rise and then did far too little as they were gassed and massacred. And today we betray the Kurds who have fought and died beside us against ISIS and others.

The world is a darker place today. I have just heard the news that John Ruggie passed away this week. He was an extraordinary blend of creative scholar & policy activist, creating the global compact and the UN Human Rights Code for Business. And a lovely human being. So, so sad.

.@PeteButtigieg ran with honor, made history as the first openly gay Presidential candidate, gave us a powerful narrative of unity, progress, and patriotism, and left the race at the right time. No reason for the amount of snark still being aimed at him on Twitter.

The nasty tweets about #Beto leaving the race, from both right and left, exemplify the sickness in our national life. A good man put himself on the line to run for President. He's committed to public service and the country. Fine to disagree with him, but why trash him?.

The worst governments in history have torn children from their parents. It is simply monstrous. Think of trying to escape persecution or poverty with your family & coming to a country's border that punishes you for trying to give your children a better life by taking them.

I believe that the US, UK, & France did the right thing by striking Syria over chemical weapons. It will not stop the war nor save the Syrian people from many other horrors. It is illegal under international law. But it at least draws a line somewhere & says enough.

I just want to note how the @nytimes now has stories about care, caregivers, the care crisis regularly on the front pages and the op-ed page, insisting that these issues are just as important as traditional economic, domestic and international news. So appreciated!.

But this is also true. It drives me crazy to see the narrative of "oh Clinton was a bad candidate" when the @nytimes fixated on her emails etc. And Joe Biden barely made it out of the starting gate twice on his own but is seen as a great candidate.
