Hillary Clinton moves quickly on diplomatic fronts - by Paul Richter
Reporting from Geneva -- If anyone doubted that the "restart" button has been pushed on U.S. diplomacy, look no further than the T-shirt worn by a young gay rights advocate at a question-and-answer session in Belgium last week: I [Heart] Hillary. "I must call on this young man," the new secretary of State said. Palestinians were cheered last week when Clinton criticized Israel's plans to raze 88 houses in predominantly Arab East Jerusalem to make room for an archaeological and historical center. But they noted she was going no further on the issue than the Bush administration had, and that she did not refer to the Israeli presence in the West Bank as an "occupation," as Bush once did.
