Foreign Minister John Kerry, would like it to be personal

With just 1 year in his role as Minister of Foreign Affairs of the greatest powers on earth is always a driving force to achieve a lot in the short term. Whether or not his curious strategy toward Asia successful and Kerry has said he must decide this strategy, although he spent more time on the issue of the Middle East.

But while the US trade relationship and Asia, not so bad that Asia can rely on the United States to the security not There are clear as before.

In addition to the gate toward stature more for Asia is being largely open Beijing due to Asian leaders more interested in quickly customizing part of China.



Whether the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement, which has just recently signed to help the United States in the struggle for economic power with how China can not yet know for many years, if everything goes well. But Mr. Kerry is not an ordinary foreign minister. By separate political and economic issues, he has something really special really own that warm the hearts of many people he can share properly and that is happy despite the defeat.

People who are not Americans have started to hear about John Kerry in 2004 when he stood to compete with the incumbent president and unpopular, but in the end he lost the game by a minimum of citizens (48,28, compared with 50.73 percent for Bush), which makes it difficult to recognize the failure.

Although Ted Kennedy political influence, which has been campaigning for John Kerry was driving the car in the morning to console after election day at his kitchen table, but John Kerry did not hesitate to admit defeat on election night and that he recognized both the honor when he spoke to the crowd that supports him: 'I want hug everyone around the country, to thank you.

Whether he can transfer this courage Asian leaders?

For a start, Kerry can start from foundations, including the one he had as many Asian leaders that started the brave young soldiers. Bravery on the battlefield really limited perspective: his world.

But more important than the other and himself, it is the courage to show the truth of the atrocities in the war committed by American soldiers that made him famous at the national level. This message will be some Asian leaders who have had military service history. But as soon as the content of the conversation should shift from the old epic history to the facts of the world in which they live and their grandchildren live in a competition held by the justice and they must accept the consequences.

Minister of Foreign Affairs has a perfect position to talk about fun after their biggest defeat in 2004 and how he can live with failure after he makes half the population disappointed. He should be reminded that the United States in 2004, with strong political divisions ever before who are doing neighbors become enemies.

American voters are angry about the direction that this country forward and very disappointing for the US Supreme Court that some people allegedly handed the presidency to Bush in 2000.

Kerry can choose the way in which he called protracted legal process to verify the ballots and ballot counting. But he did not do this, but to make it out of this feeling and to accept the results achieved by election.

A message on the need to abide by the decision of the voters must be a message, loud and clear, if the need to maintain peace and daily life with the order that better use of force crowd. In the process, clearly demonstrated by the case of personal honor was restored. This was clear when he re-election for the fourth consecutive US Senator in 2008, with 65 percent of voters in Massachusetts.

A career politician who has few politicians who serve with honor and maintain a good reputation, as John Kerry.

His story should not be forgotten. What he must do is to begin to describe failed to take top honors. Of course, do not have the same conditions in the United States and other countries, but what is needed in other countries courage and good character. Sometimes the most powerful motivating factor from where power is most important that we do not need it. A year is a very short please express the personal experience. TK
