| Secretary State John Forbes Kerry |
INTERNATIONAL (MPA-PPR) - Five-term Massachusetts senator John Forbes Kerry was confirmed on January 29, 2013 as the 68th Secretary of State for the United States. He is 69 years old.
For Kerry this is a position he has desired for quite some time. However, politics of favoritism and this-and-that, allowed a delay; yet he has stayed close and played his final trump card for a win.
With his long list of engagements in foreign affairs that date back to his young protest days to war to his leadership as a five-term senator from Massachusetts, his reputable position as Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and as a special envoy of President Barack Obama for involvement in Afghanistan and Pakistan strategies - He should do well.
In addition to being a statesman, he is a lawyer, husband, father and proud veteran. He has received combat medals. They include: 1Silver Star, 1 Bronze Star and 3 Purple Hearts. He ran for president in 2004 and the Iraqi war was his prime reason for targeting the office.
With his embodied background of hands-on experience and known commitment, I think America has a great shot at making some HUGE strides in foreign policies. He has worked in congress, with the white house and with foreign leaderships.

We wish him success-after-success as the next Secretary of State of the United States - perhaps we can really make the world a better and less killing society.
