We're now on Tuesday, with the captains and the kings due to arrive day after tomorrow. The scene for international diplomacy has shifted for the moment to New York. President Obama will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, make the American president's annual speech to the U.N. General Assembly, meet the other leaders on the subject of climate change, and chair the U.N. Security Council on the subject of nuclear disarmament and nuclear arms limitation on Thursday before coming to Pittsburgh -- for blessed relief? Someone pour him an Iron City -- that's Iron, not Iran -- and let him kick back a little, listen to some of Tony Moawad's music on DUQ, and even sneak down to Primanti's for a sausage sandwich with fries before having to deal with the heavyweights on all those heavyweight subjects. Middle East peace, nuclear arms limitations, global warming, ecccchh.
