"President Bush and I share your conviction that America can, and must, be a force for good in the world. Human dignity is not the grant of governments... It is God's endowment to all humanity."

She went on to say, in patented Condi Rice doublespeak, how denial of dignity through poverty, political and religious repressions, and other forms of enslavement are in our best interests to ameliorate. Resurrecting the 2004 campaign climate of fear, Condi referred to these as "...tragedies, but they are also threats in the making."

My forte' isn't history, but I think I'm on pretty solid ground when stating that the U.S. has never been attacked by a starving band of Ethiopians, or a group of Chinese who weren't allowed to pray in public.

Much of what she said to the crowd could have been understood and bought into by second graders. I guess you have to know your audience.

According to Rice's oversimplification, the U.S. has a keen interest in promoting religious freedom abroad. Thus will AIDS, poverty, human trafficking, the Darfur bloodbath - all the conditions that cause instability - be conquered.

Precisely how many more years does the Bush Fascist regime intend to remain in power? Where are all the military personnel, equipment and money to accomplish these remarkable feats going to come from?

The master plan is to "...rally other nations to fight intolerance and to support peace and to defend freedom..." to keep our world from drifting towards tragedy.

The world has heard this same rhetoric before, sometime around the early 1930s in a quaint middle European country known as Deutschland.

"The strong will do what they please, the weak will suffer most of all. And inevitably - inevitably - sooner or later, the threats of the world..."

Fear! FEAR! FEAR!!

Yes! These threats will come to U.S. shores as they did on September 11, 2001!

But, Condi, you had the report right in your hands over a month before the alleged terrorist attacks!

America has both the moral authority and the ability to lead the world, said she.

(Is it acceptable to throw up a "Zieg Heil!" to an Afrikanisch-Amerikanisch woman, because I'm fixin' to start goose-steppin' here right soon?)

Did Nazi Germany not consider it had a "moral authority and ability to lead the world?"

As for the "strong doing what they please and the weak suffering the most," that sounds eerily similar to the same warning Hitler gave his base over 70 years ago.
