Kerry says Israel, Palestinians laid groundwork for new peace talks

[Mass]

6. I doubt he can succeed, because we cannot succeed when our country is becoming absolutely crazy.

I just perused the articles I posted and found out that 99% of people seem to think that Kerry is anything from an idiot to arrogant (HRC did not succeed, so how could he?). Frankly, I feel more and more puzzled by where this country is going. Even people I used to respect behave as if Obama was Pinochet or something like that. Jeez. There is a difference between opposing surveillance and thinking that Obama will have somebody kill Snowden.

Similarly, there is a difference between thinking that Kerry's attempt to negotiations has low odds (well, if we should not do anything that has low odds, what type of courage does this show) and saying that he is doing that only because he wants to up his profile (very reminiscent from what the RW said about VietNam, that he only went because he wanted to improve his resume). But sadly, we hear that from the so called left as well these days. I say the so called left because they are totally uninterested by anything that is about progressive causes.
