Condi and the Boys
By Russell Baker
American foreign policy had still not recovered from its victory over
communism when George W. Bush and Condoleezza Rice took over at the
White House in 2001. The incomparable American war machine, deprived
of the enemy it had been designed to fight, was a colossus without a
mission, and the foreign policy it served had become a profusion of
high moral impulses in search of an idea. The new president did not
have one, nor did Rice.
