Kerry Adresses Paris Shooting

5. Hi Ginny!

It is nice that the French part of the speech was shown in France. It does seem to make the US comments - which really can't be anything different than the horror expressed by all - more personal somehow. (here's a link to the comments that seems to work - http://www.state.gov/

It was interesting seeing a few articles across the country mentioning the 2004 nonsense - including this newsweek article - http://www.newsweek.com/after-paris-attack-kerrys-french-ties-dont-look-so-bad-297413

The western world is united in horror against these attacks. They really are as Kerry says an attack against civilization - attacking a beautiful city. Unspoken is that this really is something that the entire Western World is facing. I have heard that many Islamic countries and religious leaders have made statements condemning this action - and they ultimately may be more important than anything Obama or Kerry could say.
