good column Gary. would love a followup on proposed solutions. for the US, i consider the bipartisan measure introduced yesterday on gun violence as a victory --- admittedly modest and incremental, but as Jim Collins famously wrote in Good to Great, progress often is best made via a crawl, walk, run approach. Right now, we need to get back to crawling, which means celebrating modest bipartisan efforts and supporting center-right and center-left candidates.
as for trump and bibi, both suffer from intense narcissism and, for whatever reason, are at a point in their lives where they view themselves as more important than the countries they serve - and are willing to even throw their homelands into intense turmoil. Israel's parliamentarian system is failing her. The disproportionate power fringe parties wield continues to sink sensible governance.

Frightening and immensely scary.
Excellent analysis of a frightening situation
