mindmeld,

I've often wondered about the same thing. My own take on it, though, is that Colin Powell is a highly competent individual, but he has been hamstrung by an administration that doesn't bother with diplomacy.

While he is not a president, a visit by a Secretary of State is something that is highly regarded around the world. He just doesn't do it. Even if he doesn't make a sale, he can still present the sales pitch, and bring people (maybe even an inch) closer to our position.

I think we need someone energetic, someone who likes to travel in that position.

Joe
