Richard Nixon going to China is considered his saving grace. It was a major move. Similarly Hillary Clinton making a difference on Burma was mind blowing to me, even more so because I had not been reading up on the build up to it. It only came to my notice once it happened. And I am like, Da What! What just happened? I did not see it coming. I was not expecting it. Getting Su Kyi released is almost like getting Nelson Mandela released. It was a big deal.

That one move alone makes Hillary Clinton a great Secretary of State, methinks. It was a big, bold move. It was heartwarming to me.
