The Velvet Hammer

I read an interesting article in today's Post about the Secretary of State. Her philosophy of "practical idealism" is not like all of the other "isms" we hear or read about coming out of Washington. The report is partial to her and how she has set pace but it doesn't shower praise:
"Rice's legacy is more likely to be determined by two historic challenges: salvaging the U.S. intervention in Iraq and making headway in promoting democracy in the Islamic world. On both, long-term strategies are not yet visible."

Thanks crys. I didn't even think about her expertise on the Soviet Union. I must say that she has proven her ability in a mostly boys club.
