"The event of the year"

...The Nobel Peace Prize winner’s allies said she had soundly defeated her opponent from the ruling party, recording wins at all but one of 128 polling stations in her rural constituency near this Southeast Asian nation’s former capital, Rangoon. With results still coming in Sunday evening, Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy party projected it would claim 40 of 45 seats being contested across Burma. The country’s election commission is expected to confirm the much-anticipated results in the coming days....

This was followed up by historical visits by President Obama into the region. The USA also looked to the Pacific for emphasis a presence for it's Department of Defense assets.

Secretary Clinton has ushered in changes around the world during her four years facilitating democracy.

Her health is stabilized and she will be fine. I expect her to take a well deserved rest. She'll probably write. Her injury to a cranial vein and her new medication has nothing to do with damaging her future. She has a full range of choices to her ambition choices. She has a real challenge though; to sit still, wake to her family, go shopping with friends, decide what hobby has been her favorite to pursue and decide what to cook for supper. She'll have time to find out what ordinary lives are like and enjoy it.

If there are any detractors to her plans for the future I hand them Dick Cheney. I promise you he was on the same blood thinner as she is now taking. That man's health was a mess for the entire eight years he was a heartbeat away from the presidency.

Both Hillary and Burma are going to be fine. We look forward to the future of both.
