US diplomats have the job of explaining America’s policies to the world. That job gets harder when Washington and the White House appear to be in turmoil. The World’s Carol Hills speaks with former senior US diplomats Ryan Crocker and Nick Burns. Crocker served as US ambassador to many countries under both Republican and Democratic presidents, including Iraq and Afghanistan under George W. Bush. Burns served as Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs under President George W. Bush, and as US ambassador to Greece under President Bill Clinton.
