Condoleezza Rice's Fairy Tale

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is touring the Middle East "promoting democracy".

"For 60 years, my country, the United States, pursued stability at the expense of democracy in this region, here in the Middle East, and we achieved neither" (...) "Now, we are taking a different course. We are supporting the democratic aspirations of all people"

Another piece of the new Washington PR campaign in action.

Who knows? Maybe with the help of a big concert with many pop and rock stars, we'll end up to believe her. But we have to wait until after 'Make Poverty History' and 'Live 8'. They are all busy right now.

Princess Rice quoted even King George:

"As President Bush said in his second inaugural address: 'America will not impose our style of government on the unwilling. Our goal instead is to help others find their own voice, to attain their own freedom, make their own way.' "

and they lived happily ever after...
