I haven't had a chance to watch it yet, but I'm looking forward to it. Just found this http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/world-news/elections-dont-always-lead-to-democracy-john-kerry/articleshow/31086447.cms

As usual, he makes real sense in this piece (sadly, the text itself mentions that there were only a few reporters in attendance) with dead-on analysis of the situation in Ukraine and gives the broader world view as well. I love this:

"In Ukraine, you had this incredible kleptocracy going on, with no real representation, no voice for the opposition, no willingness to listen to the opposition, in fact they jailed them instead. That's not democracy," Kerry said.
