Hillary Clinton's Global Agenda

As many observed, Hillary Clinton's Africa trip flew mostly under the radar, emerging only with a gotcha moment when she snapped at someone asking about Bill (or they weren't asking about Bill, or they were asking about Bill after all, depending on which report you believe -- I've now typed his name three times as much as hers thus far, gosh, why does that happen?).

Clinton is doing something important, and new: placing women's concerns at the forefront of U.S. policy toward the world -- not just as "development," but as a formal part of economic and security policy.
