      @REMant: "I did appreciate the frank acknowledgement that the Chinese do not speak with forked tongues"

      Absolutely Chinese diplomats are known for their honesty, which is why I'm wondering wherefore the demurring on condemning North Korea's sinking of the Cheonan or the shelling of a South Korean island?

      @ EyesOnYou: "With all due respect Ms. Rice, we have zero credibility when it comes to human rights because we financially and politically support an apartheid government in Israel. We have no right to criticize China or any other nation, while Israel has 10k political prisoners on your watch."

      And with all due respect, a useful idiot like you has no right to criticize the West, not when the countries that support or are an apologist for commit censorship, mass murder, genocide and execute political dissidents.

      i think i read somewhere that only 6% of scientists are republicans i feel like if you get too caught up in religion and race and politics it becomes overwhelming and your mind circles out of control in confusion

      there were christian syrians in lebanon that weren't maronites and supposedly maronites were very mean though that sounds like a stereotype really it all just seems like a mess to me with no real solution other than for people to think more logically which i doubt will ever happen maybe convert everybody to astrology

      Hear, hear. Three cogent posts in-a-row.

      Surely US foreign policy is not based on 'universal' values as the ambassador claims. For example the UN secretary-general added to the criticism of US ally Israel, following the resolution against it this week by 120 countries at the UN.

      It is reported that every other member of the UN security council, including Britain and France, agree that Israel's settlements are illegal.

      Why was this conversion completely devoid of anything about the Terrorists who rose up against the British Mandate of Palestine, call themselves Israel, and claim to be Jewish?

      This Israel is responsible for an attack on the United States (USS Liberty), Illegal occupation of Gentile Lands and the International Property of Jerusalem, War Crimes against the Gentiles, and Piracy on the High Seas. This Israel also labels the Freedom Fighters trying to get their land back as terrorists.

      Why should China help the United Stated with its perceived threat from North Korea when the United States Funds, Arms, and blocks prosecution of Israel for its Crimes? What Land is North Korea illegally occupying? Israel has unregulated Nuclear Weapons and threatens to Bomb Iran. How many countries is Iran Threatening? Read the correct translations of what Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said and you will have to conclude none.

      Her unqualified endorsement of Af-Pak says she is just another adm. kool aid imbiber which renders her moot - for anything worthwhile.

      I was impressed by her wit and looks but I still would have liked Mr. Rose to ask her about Israel and Hezbollah

    15. REMant  01/21/2011 12:14 PM Report

      She is undoubtedly the Democrat's answer to Condoleeza, and reports have it as focused and inflexible. How different she is philosophically, is I think an open question. Both she and her father appear to be good examples of the employment of the opportunities for advancement governments and religions have always provided. I would think tho that if such ppl really felt they were in the right, they would not seek positions of power. Valedictorians and Rhodes Scholars also suggest to me students who either never found reason to question their teachers' judgments, or were afraid to. IMHO if she and the president were really interested in helping Africans, they would turn off the money spigots. I hope too that she now realizes the Founders had good reasons for creating the District of Columbia, which enfranchising it would vitiate. If we did that, I would advise picking the govt up and moving it to Iowa or Kansas. There's nothing that says it has to be where it is. I did appreciate the frank acknowledgement that the Chinese do not speak with forked tongues. But, really, how can anyone equate a UN resolution with natural law?
