Madeline Albright on Charlie Rose: We've been the sole power for 18 years,

the biggie, and now we're at risk of losing it.
Charlie asking Albright what might happen now w/English and Iranians, let's find common ground.
Diplomacy! Albright rocks!
What say you?

1. I recall her response to the deaths of 500,00 Iraqi kids, is what I say.

"It was a price worth paying."

MONSTER.

4. thank you...in my narcissistic worldview, I forgot the innocent victims

whenever somebody brings up the dead US soldiers, I always ask them what they think of the several hundred thousand we killed.

I'm sorry I forgot to bring them up.

and Albright is most assuredly a MONSTER of the first order

she was on with Colbert tonight, btw.

7. It sucks to be in charge, the bully, the big kid on the block

Edited on Wed Mar-28-07 12:16 AM by BeyondGeography

especially when you are essentially indifferent to your surroundings. America has always been ignorant of and uninterested in the rest of the world. I'm not watching the program but I do take issue with the notion that it's somehow a bad thing if our power in the post Cold War era comes down more than a few pegs. We are culturally and temperamentally unsuited to be nominally in charge of the whole damned planet (a title no country should have anyway). It was never going to last, and Junior just sped up the process.

10. An odd little factoid about Albright and Rice

Edited on Wed Mar-28-07 01:36 AM by arikara

which shows just how interconnected those in power really are.

Josef Korbel may be one of the most influential Americans you've never heard of. He died in 1977, but his legacy lives on in his two most famous students: his daughter, Madeleine Albright, and his star pupil at the University of Denver, Condoleezza Rice.

Makes one wonder just what it was he taught them.

on edit: spelling error
