Condoleezza Rice Says She's `Proud' of Decision to Invade Iraq  - Bloomberg.com: Worldwide

July 3 (Bloomberg) -- Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said she's ``proud'' of the U.S. decision to wage the Iraq war and insisted that the world is not more dangerous than it was when George W. Bush took office.

``We're now beginning to see that perhaps it's not so popular to be a suicide bomber. We're beginning to see that perhaps people are questioning whether Osama Bin Laden ought to really be the face of Islam,'' Rice, 53, said in an interview to be broadcast this weekend on Bloomberg Television's ``Conversations with Judy Woodruff.''

``And I am proud of the decision of this administration to overthrow Saddam Hussein,'' said Rice, who was Bush's national security adviser at the time of the March 2003 invasion. As of yesterday, 4,107 U.S. soldiers died in Iraq and more than 30,000 were wounded. She said the Iraq war has been ``tougher than any of us really dreamed.''

OK now suppose that it's not popular being a suicide bomber anymore, that it won't make you many friends, that it won't help you get girls or anything.

How long will the suicide bomber suffer from the stigma exactly?

As I watch Bush make a fool of himself as the "lamest duck in history" I often think that there is no one alive as irrelevant as he is.  Then I remember that Condoleeza Rice is the Secretary of State.
