...failure to address historical injustices and is a sad reminder of the virulent resentments that longstanding inequalities have inspired. Still, under the right leadership, Kenyans will stop taking justice into their own hands and turn to their leaders to resolve the electoral dispute.

She chastised voters for failing to be "realistic," for not understanding that it takes experience to make change happen. It reminded me of an unhappy adult scolding a six-year-old that he's too old to continue believing in Santa Claus. Most of us have a fondness for Santa, at least for the spirit of goodwill and giving that he represents...
