I always wondered why Kerry gave up his safe Senate seat and it seems this (a "legacy&quot is why. I think after trying and trying with the almost-intractable Israel-Palestine issue, Iran seemed like a logical one to try given the opportunities that just opened up - the Shia majority in Iraq in power and the rise of extremist Sunnis causing havoc around the region (despite the fact that most of the Islamic world is Sunni)... Maybe North Korea can be another to try the next time the opportunity presents itself.

The President and I as "class of '79"ers remember the whole hullaboo of the revolution and the Shah and whatnot and it's good to finally see some positive geopolitical changes going on in that part of the world, as the OP's 2 diplomats are slowly dismantling Shrub's bogus "Axis of Evil".
