COMMENTARY
Every once and a while, amidst all of the stories about Osama bin Laden and the U.S. war on terrorism, I am reminded of one very sad fact: Richard Holbrooke, the President’s Special Envoy for Pakistan and Afghanistan, is no longer with us.
Granted, it has been almost six months since his untimely passing, but it still doesn’t seem real … and it certainly doesn’t seem right. And while death is always hard to understand and accept, his seems particularly disconcerting.
After all, Holbrooke was larger-than-life and an indefatigable force of nature. As one of our nation’s most influential and experienced foreign policy practitioners, he had played key roles in some of the most important issues of our day. And as one of the most visionary and effective people in government, he was often able to make the impossible … possible.
