This Is Scary

Condileeza Rice & some of that old-time religion. This is scary. On the other hand, I wonder how many of Bu$hCo's foreign service appointments can actually speak English, much less any other language? These people have zero shame. & shame on us for letting it continue.

"Yes, of course. Rice clearly wants to 'transform' the diplomacy wing of the U.S. government into the missionary wing of the Neo-Conservative religion.

When a person is a 'diplomat,' their job is to engage in 'foreign relations.' That is: establishing long-lasting relationships with other nations.

When a person is a 'missionary,' by contrast, their job is to transform that person into an adherent of the religion, worldview or philosophy of their boss.

As Rice sees it, the primary function of foreign service workers should not be to build relations with foreign nations, but to change the internal character of those nations.

It's missionary work plain and simple."
