The list for September 13, 2013
NOTE FROM CHRIS:
Russian president Vladimir Putin’s opinion piece
arguing against military intervention in Syria,
published on The New York Times’ website Wednesday,
has pissed off quite a few people. In response to
President Obama’s recent speech saying that Americans
are “exceptional,” Putin said, “It is extremely
dangerous to encourage people to see themselves
as exceptional, whatever the motivation.”
