Secretary of State Clinton's wheelings and dealings

As this 60 Minutes piece showed last night, even with telephones and Skype, the person in charge of relations with the rest of the world has alot of traveling to do. In less than 18 months, the Secretary of State has traveled to 54 countries and has had to deal with a number of complex international problems. In the video, Secretary Clinton talks about our relationship with Pakistan, while saying that if there was a devastating terrorist attack on American soil that was linked to that country, severe consequences would ensue. Clinton also talks about the U.S. relationship with Afghanistan, currently being led by the corrupt Harmid Karzai. Also, Clinton talks about her goal of spreading women's rights as a major global issue.
