WASHINGTON — Far from the staid chambers of the Senate, Secretary of State John F. Kerry has been presented with a full plate of global crises as he plots his maiden voyage abroad: Egypt in chaos, Syria engulfed in civil war, moribund Mideast peace talks, and North Korea threatening to detonate an atomic bomb while Iran moves closer to developing one of its own.
As he seals his transition from legislator to diplomat with his first official trip overseas, Kerry will have to deal with all these unresolved diplomatic crises even as he looks to put his personal stamp on American foreign policy.

Good luck Mr. Secretary but I still think Joe Biden would have been much more fun to watch. He would have brought a brown bag lunch with a BLT on his visit the UAE. Then he would have stopped in Belgium and wondered where the worlds waffle supply was produced. That man is the kind of guy who's christmas office parties are the stuff of legends. Kerry reminds me of the cardboard that the dry cleaner folds my shirts around when I get them cleaned for a trip.
