  Watched Now tonight, was very moved by all of it, but especially be the closing bit on crossing the Euphrates. I found out about this NPR story (link) from David Weinberger’s blog. This story is so good. It’s just pure good. Listen to it and pretend these women ruled the country instead of you know who. Imagine we were a culture that would tolerate a dialog that took seven years. Listening to this story renewed my hope in the world.
