Posting has been light the last couple of days because I’ve been swamped with the Atlantic Council Annual Awards Dinner, which we hosted last night.  Honorees included UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, Britain’s Prince Harry, Unilever CEO and philanthropist Paul Polman, the enlisted men and women of the United States Armed Forces, and violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter.

I’ve written several blog posts highlighting and analyzing the substantive remarks of the honorees:

• Ban Ki-moon: Assad May Suffer Fate of Qaddafi or Taylor
• Ban Ki-moon: World Needs West’s Leadership
• Prince Harry: Wounded Veterans Paid Terrible Price to Keep Us Safe and Free
• Unilever’s Polman: Business Simply Has to Take the Lead
• Hagel: Enlisted Troops Don’t Make Policy But Always Carry It Out
