Technically nothing physical is permanent so I guess we should just ignore the obvious threats until they ‘go away’. I used to lice Rice. A lot.

We hear these canned press conferences, but we don’t hear what the diplomats say to each other. They come out of the closed room usually smiling and saying it was constructive.

Its probably hard being a Secretary of State, schooled in Soviet/Russian politics, to be effective during two wars against muslim based nations.
In light of the above, its hard to say that she has been effective at all during her tenure. But I don’t know how anyone could have been any more effective.
She can always go back to teaching:
Rice to students: “So there I basically was talking to Vladimir over a cocktail about Boris’s antics when suddenly it seemed like the middle east, like, blew up! Geez!”

If you are a "great country" other countries will hate you _exactly_ for that reason.
Is she trying to argue that Syria and China (just to give two examples from a long list) are no longer sabotaging our foreign policy every chance they get?
Somebody needs to check that woman's food and drink and make sure no LSD has made its way into her household.
:-(

It’s true historically. Our greatest enemy throughout history has been Great Britain.
I get the impression that Secretary Rice could say “It’s a sunny day, how about them Cowboys?” and she’d get abuse on this board.

You are more than likely correct.
I like Condi and I admire her past performance and accomplishments - I just disagree with her diplomatic stance in some areas.

diplomatically we have no permanent friends either. Just common interests.
