My grandma likes Pierce Brosnan
There's little doubting Condoleeza Rice's talent and educational pedigree.
That she's been through a lot to get where she is perhaps makes it bad taste to criticize. Oh well, I haven't thought of a nickname for her yet.
So instead of Junior's 'Axis of Evil', Rice has "Outposts of Tyranny",where the US must help to bring freedom to Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Zimbabwe, Burma and Belarus. No mention then of China, whose regime is comparable to those above at their lowest. Money does talk. No mention too, of Sudan, where a recent UN report said Sudan's government and its militia systematically abused civilians in Darfur. Mustn't have any strategic importance.
Perhaps all is explained when we hear what she said when talking about US/UK relations the other day:
"I decided to come first to Britain because we have no better friend; we have no better ally."
Mark my words, there is something weird going on. Hollywood has infested all walks of American life, even someone who graduated with a degree in political science at 19 has to speak using rhetoric so twisted it has no meaning. Arnie's right at home. I'd sooner vote for Tom Hanks though, you?

Oh I vote for Johnny Depp every time!!
The selective amnesia of the US administration regarding 'terrorism', or whatever euphamism you want to give it, always frustrates the hell out of me. For years and years they turned a completely blind eye to the fund rasing and support for the IRA while many of us were living in anxiety in London. Why are they now surprised that we are cynical? It's fascinating the way they expect us to swallow, hook line and sinker, whatever is their cause of the day and go all 'hurt' when we won't.
Johnny Depp, good choice Sue. I think governments expect us to believe their selective amnesia because as a globe we've been swallowing it for so long, and these days they just delay the admitting of their 'errors' and say sorry and there's little that can be done in lieu. People, like us, who take an interest, have always been aware of the hypocrisy, the challenge is raising this awareness to a level where they can't ignore it anymore. Fingers crossed things are changing.
