In retrospect, it was easy to see that Clinton was desperate, willing to say almost anything to get over. At the time, she just seemed strong, certainly stronger...
Perhaps not surprisingly, funding is another obstacle. Rehabilitation of the museum ranks low on the government's list of priorities in a country that continues to be wracked by violence, corruption and food scarcities.
