After the terrible tragedies and terror attacks that struck France in the past week, many world leaders came to France to march in unity for freedom of expression and to honor those who lost their lives. There were a variety of world leaders who attended the march which included: French President Francois Hollande, British Prime Minister David Cameron, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Attorney General Eric Holder is in France this week to attend a meeting in fighting the war against terror but, did not participate in the march with the other world leaders. I do not know why Eric Holder did not march with the other world leaders but, I felt that someone should have been there to represent the United States. How can it be that the United States the most powerful nation in the world not be a participant or supporter in this march? Quite frankly it baffles me how none of the top representatives of our government were not there to march along in unity with our other allies. Secretary of State John Kerry was in India and president Obama was nowhere to be found. I find it extremely hard to believe that Eric Holder alluded that, "investigators at this point don't have 'any credible information' to determine which terrorist group was responsible for the attacks in Paris." I am pretty upset that the president of the United States was not there to march in France. In my opinion, that shows very weak leadership and poor international relations.
