Dennis Muilenburg, new CEO of Boeing in July, 2015
06/23/2015
Former CEO McNerney will remain as chairman, and Boeing's strategy will remain in place. During McInerney's period as CEO Boeing experienced manufacturing delays on the Dreamliner and reduced the size of its defense business. A surge in orders for commercial planes from airlines puts Boeing well positioned for the future. The share price doubled during McInerney's 10 years as CEO. Muilenburg was head of the Defense and Space business before being made the new president of Boeing.

France and the issue of full inspection and verification, including military sites, of a nuclear deal with Iran
06/01/2015
With the Ayatollah Khamanei saying Iran's "brazen enemy" will be denied access to military sites and to Iranian scientists, and France's foreign minister calling any agreement- regardless of how good it is- without full inspection being meaningless, the two sides are far apart.

Gen. Dempsey, Gen. Dunford, and U.S. policies in Iraq and Afghanistan
05/05/2015
Gen. Dunford continues Gen. Dempsey's policy of caution in Iraq and Afghanistan. Both officers are concerned about the manner in which the U.S. undertook its missions in Afghanistan and Iraq and are making an effort to correct errors made under the Bush administration. Gen. Dempsey is concerned about the hasty training of the Iraqi army under his predecessors leading to some commanders being accused of heading sectarian death squads. Gen. Dempsey's cautious approach so that some of the mistakes made under a previous administration are not repeated, is exceeded by president Obama who has opted not to act in situations where Dempsey and most of the president's advisors have favored acting.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
