Reuters: For Kerry, Iran deal would be a legacy hit after many misses
If U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry pulls off a nuclear deal with Iran, it will be a singular achievement in a long career in which the grand prize has eluded him.
His 2004 presidential election loss, lack of legislative monuments despite 28 years in the Senate, and failure, like many before, to bring peace to Israelis and Palestinians have contributed to a view that he struggles to seal major successes.
The 71-year-old has expended remarkable energy in pursuit of what would be an historic agreement with Iran, flying tens of thousands of miles and holding dozens of meetings with his Iranian counterpart. He plans to attend the possible last stage of the nuclear talks in Vienna ahead of a June 30 deadline, despite breaking his leg late last month.
WNU Editor Is this all about two men's ego (Obama and Kerry)? Sighhh .... I hope to God no.

" failure, like many before, to bring peace to Israelis and Palestinians" I didn't realize comedy flowed so naturally from you. Can somebody actually demonstrate - with a straight face - that the U.S. objective for providing war materiel valued in the 10's of millions for decades on end was to 'promote peace' ? Too ridiculous.
