Hillary Clinton just finished up her first trip as Secretary of State, and already we are seeing a dramatic shift in rhetoric. Instead of sticking to the normal talking points, Hillary decided to use a more concillatory tone. For example, Mrs. Clinton decided not to harp China about Human Rights. Her decision shows a marked difference in policy, and recognizes that constantly attacking on an issue won't solve.
Personally, I believe that Hillary Clinton's demeanor during her trip is what our foreign policy needed. In being less critical of foreign governments, and more critical of US policy, Clinton has given the new administration more avenues with which to address outstanding issues. I hope Hillary is just as candid when she visits other parts of the world.
