Condi Rice is turning out to be a remarkable Sec. of State. When President Bush aimed high in his second inaugural speech and committed the U.S. to support for global democracy and individual freedom, I was impressed and pleased but also doubtful we would have the "intestinal fortitude" to stick with it.

So far, I'm still on the "impressed" side.

Tigerhawk, who attended the Secretary's speech recently at Princeton, is also impressed.
