Playing it safe

Despite of all the misgivings of Israel, I feel that the Iran nuclear deal reached yesterday is a remarkable accomplishment. I cannot help notice how U.S. foreign policy and diplomatic relationships have changed since John Kerry took over from Hilary Clinton the office of the Secretary of State of USA.  In addition to the deal with Iran, Kerry was instrumental in getting an agreement from Syria to destroy her arsenal of WMDs.  In addition, he has initiated talks on working out a solution for the Israel Palestine conflict (despite the attempts by Israel to torpedo it).  Kerry is also more focused on USA relationships with our Middle Eastern allies like Saudi Arabia who were taken for granted during the years of Hilary Clinton (Clinton visited Saudi Arabia once in her tenure of four years, versus Kerry three times already!) I guess John Kerry can take risks while Hilary had to play it safe for her run for U.S. Presidency in 2016.
