Everything's an Orange
When you're raised in the middle of an orange grove, it's easy to identify oranges.

It's common knowledge that Condi made her chops on the cold war mentality of triangulating world powers, and seeing any conflict as a proxy for the larger cold war. So is it surprising that she would see the current middle east crisis as merely a proxy fight between the "Axis of Evil" and the "good guys"? Nevermind that there are numerous sectarian groups in the middle east, each one vying for a place at the table.

I guess the good news is that the Condi faction in the administration seems to have a stronger hand in dealing with the situation than Cheney. But that doesn't necessarily mean it's much better.

If we survive the next two years with any sort of credibility (see the headlines in the below posts) it will be freakin' amazing.
