I believe we have no choice except to move forward, too.   I just think we need to understand what has just happened, the how and why .....so we can move forward wiser and better able to understand this new world we seem to find ourselves in now.   Understanding what the effects are, while avoiding additional damage to the nation would be a good idea for us.        I continue to think that deeper investigations of D Trump's financial history is crucial... but not everyone would agree with that.   Trump's "America First" nationalism is just too similar to Putin's own style of whipping up nationalistic fervor to support his policies, IMO.    And, it certainly looks like all this policy change has begun to alienate us from our historical allies in Europe....  So, no, we have to examine this.  Let Mueller do his job.

I'm pretty sure South Koreans are more than a bit worried about what an mis-spoken "America First"  tweet could do..... over just a period of minutes.     I certainly am.

I am happy for any cease-fire in Syria, but it is becoming clear that the decision makers in Syria will be Russian & Iranian, I think.  And, as before, Assad didn't sign on to the cease-fire this time either.
