Just came over the air that the U.N. has okayed a no-fly zone over Libya. I got really loud on that line and pumped my fists next to the microphone. They weren't as fast as I would have liked, but they're finally going in. The U.S. is already scrambling planes. (I have close friends whose families are in Libya. Independent of that, I support human rights.)

Furthermore, the G-7 are stepping in to counter Yen speculation and bring the currency to a sustainable level, both to help Japan rebuild and to stop the world economy from unraveling. This is their first such intervention in the currency markets decade. Meanwhile, radiation readings at the Fukushima plant have fallen, and a coalition of experts from around the world is rushing in to repair things.

It's like living in the Federation. Can you imagine if the world acted like this when World War II hit? It's miraculous to live in a time when borders are less and less significant, and people are people.
