"Shaking Hands With The Devil"

Samantha Power talks about genocide and how the international community responds to it:

Power was one of the Obama campaign's top foreign policy advisers until she resigned after referring to Hillary Clinton as "a monster" who was "stooping to anything" to win the Democratic presidential nomination. However, months prior to that unfortunate statement, Power spoke on Obama's behalf at the UI. She gave a fascinating talk that I covered for the Daily Iowan.

Hopefully, Power will end up being a major figure in the incoming Obama administration.
