Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has announced that she will step down from her position as "chief diplomat" of the United States. She has cited the reason for this decision as being related to issues of exhaustion. Clinton's state of exhaustion should be no surprise, as she inherited a portfolio of foreign affairs that would make any politician cringe. In dealing with issues from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, to a world economic crisis, she has received little attention from mainstream America. The legacy she leaves behind as Secretary of State will largely be determined by how well she "cleaned up" the diplomacy mess she inherited.
