I haven't had more than about 3 hours of sleep each night since #Jan 25.
Tunisia - You are beautiful. Mohammed Bouazizi, I hope that you can see us from where you are and know what you have set in motion. You will never be forgotten.

Egypt.... I'm speechless. You are so inspiring.
Bahrain & Yemen: Don't give up!
Ah Libya..........
You will be free. This is really, really hard to watch.
One day, I was in a hotel in Damascus, in the elevator. This friendly, smiling, guy in the elevator asked me if I was French. I braced myself, (as I often do), for the consequences of my origin (damn you Bush),
and looking at the floor, said, "No, I'm American." He broke into a HUGE smile. He said, "I am from Libya! We are friends now!" Condi Rice had just been to visit the Colonel and declared him rehabilitated. Amazing what a lot of oil can do for your reputation.
I keep thinking about my incredibly sweet Libyan friend. Is he in Libya now? Is he alright?
I will see you all soon.
