Politics: Richard Holbrooke made this speech just last week. Now he’s gone.
- Last week, Foreign Policy Magazine held an event in honor of its 40th anniversary. The guest of honor was Richard Holbrooke, the Obama administration’s top diplomat in Afghanistan and Pakistan who was an early contributor and editor at the paper. A week later, he’s gone. This is how quickly life works sometimes, but the heartfelt remembrance of Holbrooke by the magazine is worth the read. And above is his final speech. (thanks thepoliticalnotebook) source
