What was the biggest international news story of 2013 in your view?
The most historically significant: Putin taking Obama to the woodshed over Syria.
Fukushima?
In my mind too many to just pick one. But one of the big ones was something we always suspected, just how much we are being spied on by the NSA. Thank you Edward Snowden!
3. The thaw in relations between the US and Iran.
4. Bradley Manning's trial and sentencing.
And on a lighter note, but still very important to me.
5. Leon F.C. won the Mexican first division. After spending ten difficult years stuck in the second division, they won promotion back to the first division in 2012 and won the first division title in 2013.
Fukushima?
In my mind too many to just pick one. But one of the big ones was something we always suspected, just how much we are being spied on by the NSA. Thank you Edward Snowden!
I apologize for being such a terrible nitpick, but Fukushima, although feeling like just yesterday, happened back in 2011.
I'll comp. Snowden and perhaps Pope Franciscus, for their long-lasting global impact.
