Even worse, Ms. Rice's admission -- damning though it be -- is but another limited-hangout half-truth designed to deceive. She's conveniently overlooked the fact that she convened National Security Council meetings, beginning in January 2001, which riveted on regime change in Iraq as a way to "address the deeper malignancies of the Middle East." In reality, the events of September 11 were simply used to provide a patina of legitimacy to Bush's long-planned evil war of aggression.
Given Bush's interminable, evil war of aggression and, now, Condoleezza Rice's infantile and dishonest whitewash of it in Foreign Affairs, perhaps the most critical question is this: When will the rest of the world unite to "address the deeper malignancies" of the United States - malignancies that make wars of choice appear necessary to a large segment of America's population and especially attractive to its foreign policy elite?
