Rice's Not-So-Shining Moment Washington Post
By Jim HoaglandSunday, August 24, 2008
".....Rice has to shoulder the burden of being secretary of state for a president whose attention to world affairs is episodic at best and who does not believe in the value of sustained diplomacy -- what George Shultz calls the "gardening" tasks of foreign policy. She has always been out on a long limb, which events have now conspired to snap."
"The meager foreign policy legacy she has been nurturing has been undermined -- perhaps fatally -- by Russia's invasion of Georgia and its threatening aftermath, which Rice has helped exacerbate. She has by turn seemed ineffective, petulant and overly tactical in responding to an unexpected crisis sparked by the Kremlin -- the subject of her professional expertise."
"Rice argued to her senior staff recently that helping things not get worse is a worthwhile endeavor. Until Georgia exploded, it was a succinct, defensible assessment of her tenure as secretary of state."

Civil Rights and the Decline Thereof
Friends,
I feel that we, as citizens of the United States, are losing our preciouse civil rights. Our government has been corrupted by partisionship and paper patriotism. Our Constitution is being trampled.
I intend to create a forum of intelligent insight into what is happening to our world.
Science and reason will rule here. Physdo-science and myth will be ignored.
My sources will generally be; The Denver Rocky Mountain News, The Washington Post, The Financial Times of London, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Tribune, The Boston Globe, The Onion, Slate, Salon.com and The Pine River Times as the daily papers. My reading is varied. I subscribe to: The New Yorker magazine, Wired magazine, and the Freedom From Religion Foundation newsletter. My favorite novels are Catcher in the Rye, Catch 22, Huckleberry Finn, and One Hundred Years of Solitude. I watch: The Lehrer Report, The Daily Show, Southpark, The Simpsons and just about anything on PBS.
I am a member of MoveOn, American Civil Liberties Union, the Denver Botanic Gardens, The Denver Art Museum and Freedom From Religion Foundation.
I feel that it is my responsibility, as a concerned citizen, to speak out and share the truth.
Peace and Love,
Rev O

- I am a fifty-nine year old veteran of the Viet-Nam war (non-combat). I am an Ordained Clergy of The Church of Spiritual Humanism. I am a cleric of Atheism. I was recently retired as a Professional Land Surveyor for over thirty-five years. I have two children who are graduated from college and are successfully working in their chosen fields. I live in Denver, Colorado. I believe that the separation of the church and state is a very important concept in our Constitution. Our civil rights are being trampled by this administration. My civil rights are rapidly receeding as Big Brother continues to watch.
