Richard Holbrooke, RIP

From ABC News:

Richard Holbrooke, a forceful presence in American diplomacy for more than 45 years, died tonight in Washington, D.C. He was 69…

A blow to our policy in Afghanistan and Pakistan which will now hang a bit in limbo as a replacement is found – one of the few adults in the Obama Administration; his counsel will be missed, I fear.

My prayers for his family during this tragic time.
