Hillary’s incredible, shrinking role

The unusual numbers of talented negotiators, so many dispatched to specific tasks, demonstrates how troubled US relationships are with virtually every nation in the world - including Canada and Mexico.

With specialists targeting specific hot spots, Hilary Clinton has more than too much work: Korea, Libya, India/Pakistan, China and Japan, the Caribbean basin, Russia, Europe, Central Africa, nuclear proliferation, anti-ballistic missile programs, world trade and GAAT, Iran, Arctic Ocean treaties, the completely collapsed American relationships with Central Asia, demilitarization of space, and the so many yet to be discussed political problems created by the advancement of science and future environmental problems.

Tasking Mitchell and Holbrook to specifically difficult and threatening problems are a tribute to Obama's grasp of how serious those problems have become. Both have no hope for solution without full time, full force attention. Even so, we should expect both problems to persist eight years later - both situations have deteriorated that much. Destruction of the Oslo Accords and performing no phase four planning in Afghanistan simply destroyed all previous progress. Both solutions will start from scratch due to neglect in a previous eight years.

Four potential problems fortunately not made worse are the Balkans, Haiti, Southeast Asia, and South America. By smartly ignoring Chaves, that potential problem has been slowly self destructing ever since the King of Spain said, "Why don't you just shut up."

Cuba will probably require special care when the inevitable turmoil begins. Other potential but less challenging hot spots may be Yemen, Nicaragua, Sudan, NW South America, Somalia, and Zimbabwe. Making things even more interesting may be the integration of BRIC countries into the G-8. Clinton has more than enough works to do.

Who ignored him?

Yeh - there will be an outpouring of people trying to get out of there when the old man dies.

What about Mexico? Something has to be done there to deal with the incredibly powerful drug cartels and the country's stability.
