Hope: Guatemalan Ex-President Rios Montt Indicted for Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity


Often, I must depend on gardens for hope. But this weekend, from afar, I joined my Guatemalan friends in celebrating this historical achievement for Justice. You can read here about the efforts of many brave people. There is still a long road ahead in Guatemala, especially given the "alleged" involvement of the current Guatemalan President, Perez Molina. As Americans, we should also come clean publicly about how our government and military were involved, especially since those were our tax dollars at work.
Personally, my family had another reason to celebrate the hopefulness of humanity when our second niece was born yesterday: a fitting Mother's Day event!
