South Sudan is set to become the world's newest nation on July 9, 2011, but celebrations are premature. Whether this new nation thrives will depend on whether the UN insists its peacekeepers truly protect civilians.
In my mind, Mike Hampton was more than just a left-handed pitcher who had won twenty-two games the year before with the Houston Astros -- he was a savior.
