A good leader recognizes the desires of the people he is meant to
govern and commands the respect of others. A good puppet, on the
other hand, listens to advice, digests it, and does whatever he is told.
Condoleeza Rice thinks we still live in the Cold War era. She doesn't
think things like the rampant spread of AIDS in Africa or an ozone
hole over Argentina should be American concerns. I invite you to
check out her isolationist policies.
Name one thing Colin Powell did, besides be born black. Oh and
order some planes to bomb Iraq. And fail to hit their target.
I would hesitate to describe Bush as an "effective" governer of Texas,
when the state is nearly last in education and health coverage and he
didn't even set foot in the state for two years so he could run a
presidential campaign.
Also I will cut no slack for a man who oversaw the most executions in
state (and national) history - most of which were minorities and
mentally challenged people.
This is no leader.
