Re: Rice meets rights activists during tense Moscow visit
Going on an official visit to a foreign country and meeting with opposition rights activists there is a coarse way to feed the ignition of a conflict. Especially coming from the representatives of a country like the US of America, which is the number one rights violator throughout the world, and that has rights activists calling for the trial of its current president for war crimes.
