The Week Ended with Good News

++The United States and Russia agreed to a deal to put Syria's chemical weapons under international control. As President Obama said,he wasn't looking for style points but the right policy. Now we have to get rid of 1,000 metric tons of chemical weapons. The possible complications are vast. The key to the American position was the non-proliferation of WMDs.The Syrian war will continue and the humanitarian crisis will worsen, but for now America's role in the war making end of things will be less, not more.

++Larry Summers withdraw from being a candidate for the Fed Chair. At this stage, not giving it to Janet Yellin would be spite.

++The President told ABC he wasn't going to negotiate on the debt ceiling, saying the House was upsetting the constitutional order by holding a piece of law hostage--meaning Obamacare.
