...post-Cold War era is indeed a messy one, and neither party is all that well placed to throw stones. The GOP wonks have had the luxury of an eight-year sabbatical from the corridors of power in which to formulate their critique. And that's left them leading the way in defining the problem...
...someone so central to the process, Ross could not be more self-effacing. Of the three primary U.S. negotiators of the post-cold war era--the other two are George Mitchell, who helped midwife the Northern Irish peace, and Richard Holbrooke, the brash, Balkan knucklebuster and current U.N.

...hard things has been that things just kind of emerge that require my time. I have talked to my predecessors about this. The role of secretary of state in the post-Cold War era requires a much greater assessment of all the issues all over the place. My predecessors had a very difficult and complicated life to live, but they focused primarily on anti-Soviet activities as they played out, and the Middle East. I really do have to show interest in and keep raising questions about places all over the world. Whoever is now secretary of state...
