Sure, she learned some about diplomacy from Brent Scowcroft, but she is now a member of President Bush's cabinet.
I don't see them backing down in the WOT. Diplomacy is what it is, an attempt at peacemaking, however each side views it.
Talk softly and carry a big stick.
Bolton in the UN gives me a level of comfort.
How about Bolton for Secretary of State? That would be great. Or even Bolton for president, I'd totally support him more than any of the others.
If Scowcroft things that the Mideast was "stable" at anytime in the last 75 years, he is slightly mistaken.
