I for one am saddened to read that in Thailand the return to more democratic circumstances has been delayed by the death of a royal highness, and to hear that Kenya, one of the few stable democracies in Africa, is burning after a botched presidential election. I don't think it makes sense to let our government decide on which critical international event deserves a "PD statement" more than any other; although if we as individuals want to discuss inter(macro)national politics, we all know how to post a rant on Wittenberg X.

Suggestions?
