This one time? At Brand Camp?

Mazel Tov!

We in Israel are all sharing a collective "Now what?" kind of moment. We sat here over the last few days wondering for whom to root in Syria. Okay, that's not really true - nobody was rooting for Assad; the man was a less competent clone of his father. Still, the rebel forces are no great shakes, either.

The hopes were between both sides evaporating in a puff of negative energy, and an excuse to crush Iran.

Don't think anybody had "Terrorist makes economic overtures" on their Bingo card.

@Metrogram

Should they not have seen that coming?

@GottaLaff

I for one would consider this to be a fascinating experiment.

@LJ

Thanks. Sincerely, thank you.

Well, no matter what, he's my son and I love him and miss him.

For having expectations, I deserve to be disappointed.

I can't even say anything, because then I'm whining.

But I would have liked a little empathy.

It was wrong of me to expect any.

Expectations lead to disappointment. This is why I usually eschew expectations.

One gets what one deserves. Always. The calculus is perfect. So expectations are useless.

kacha.

@thekrage

Yep. Just me.

@thekrage

Thank you for that empathetic reply! Appreciate it.
