Kerry at the Hiroshima Peace memorial Park

[MBS]

9. My respect and admiration for Sec. Kerry has also grown over time.

My admiration for him was already high in 2003/2004- he was the first presidential candidate (Obama was the second) for whom I voted for positive reasons, not just as the usual lesser-of-two evils rationale. ( In 2016, it's sadly back to the usual lesser-of-two-evils/better-than-the-alternative considerations for me).

And, as you said, everything he has done since then has only increased my admiration and respect for him.

He really is an exceptional man.
If there's any justice or good sense in the universe, he will be treated very well by history. Certainly, by every possible measure, he should be recognized as an absolutely outstanding secretary of state.
