Quote of the Day

"Hillary has changed our understanding—no, our definition—of foreign matters. Diplomacy is no more just the ability of controlling relations along with other nations. The large issues—war and peace, terror, economic stability, etc.—remain, and she or he has handled all of them with firmness and authority, with poise and confidence, with good will, when appropriate. But it's not the praise of diplomats or dictators that'll be her legacy. She worked with plenipotentiaries, but her focus was on people. Foreign matters is not nearly treaties, she trained us, it comes down to the suffering and aspirations of individuals impacted by the treaties, made or unmade. First and foremost, diplomacy should refocus attention around the powerless. Obviously, Hillary wasn't the very first secretary of condition to advocate for human privileges or make use of the publish to boost understanding of abuses or negotiate humanitarian relief or pressure oppressors. But she was the first one to concentrate on empowerment, particularly of ladies and women."—Donna Brazile, Democratic strategist, author, professor, and commentator, on Hillary Clinton's legacy (or at best some of it) as Secretary of Condition.
