My father was a diplomat and at one time I thought of going into that field too. It's absolutely ridiculous to state that any SOS just flies around willy-nilly for no apparent reason. We are no longer as powerful as we were before. The big agreements between nations are hard to come by. In today's foreign policy climate it's all about baby steps. There was also the antipathy toward the US that the Bush years engendered. A lot of feathers that were ruffled had to be smoothed, that required face time. She's also one of the most well know women in the world, people wanted to see her. If you ever traveled with Hillary you would realize that it's like traveling with a rock star. Mobs of people would line up streets and every event would be packed.
