Re: Mr Powell...
Powell seems to have a larger worldview than the "my way or the highway", "either you're for us or you're against us", black and white jingoism of Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld-Rice.
Seems to understand there are other interests in the world besides those of the US, and even if you don't agree with them the interests of others are real and need to be considered.
Powell will be gone. I wonder if that's why Hughes is leaving soon, and Maitlyn (sp?) is alleged to be going at the end of the year, that they can see other points of view, and the inner circle regards them as mildly traitorous.
