FAO Quotables

"But being right, even morally right, isn't everything. It is also important to be competent, to be consistent, and to be knowledgeable. It's important for your soldiers and diplomats to speak the language of the people you want to influence. It's important to understand the ethnic and tribal divisions of the place you hope to assist."
-Anne Applebaum

Africa Partnership Station Main Planning Conference this Week

I am at the APS MPC all this week down in VA Beach.   Last year's MPC was in Paris so just a slight downgrade (un petit peu) to Virginia Beach.   Anyway, I will be providing updates throughout the week on anything that I find pertinent or interesting.
