Hillary found the time to grab a quick pint in McDaids just off Grafton Street during her recent visit to Dublin. A fine traditional drinking establishment. The fact that the Secretary of State of the US could safely cavort with the locals is one sign of the change in opinion about America since the Bush administration dissolved away. In constrast Bush needed a 6000 person security detail on the grounds of a prestigious castle in Co. Clare to keep him away from protestors. All Hillary got was a 'when are you getting out of Afghanistan, Iraq and Shannon?' from a local. She hasn't properly answered that question, nor do I see one forthcoming soon on Afghanistan, but I for one welcome the change in attitude towards America. It goes to show that the principle of giving someone (or a nation) a 'second chance' is still alive and well.
