As America mourns the loss of one decent man, Syrians are
mourning the loss of thousands. Ambassador Christopher Stevens believed in our Dream,
let’s hope his passing will not take away from that. Cynicism has laced the way
international leaders dealt with the Syrian tragedy from the get-go, allowing
the dream to turn into a nightmare. But only audacity can overcome adversity,
not cynicism.
