It might be the case that there is a Black president in Washington. Not something unthinkable of when today the Secretary of State, Congoleezza Rice, is a Black woman. So what? If you can have diplomatic and commercial relations with Nigeria, Mozambique or Zimbabwe, why not with the U.S. of America?
That on the grand picture of a hopeful future. On the smaller and more immediate picture, Nationalism in Europe must not go hand in hand with Racialism in America. Their particular status quo and their objectives are different to ours, and so are their lines of action. If they fail (and they will) we must not follow them into suicide. We owe them nothing but this miserable world of today.

We may be hearing a good deal more of "Congoleezza" Rice. There is a big scandal brewing and it looks like big laws were violated which all stemmed from Bush's speech about yellow-cake uranium in Niger. After the speech, a former offical challenged him who had visited Niger to get to the bottom of the uranium matter. The Bush administration fought back by exposing this former official's wife as a covert CIA agent, definately illegal. It seems that the top aids to both Bush and Cheney were involved and the conspiracy may led to Cheney himself. If he is indited, the rumor is that he will resign and Condoleezza Rice will be promoted to Vice President.
Condoleezza is a simple black woman of no great intellect who has been pushed along and promoted due to affirmative action. Her big talents are ice skating, playing the piano, and speaking Russian. Big deal!! Intellectually, she may have in IQ of 100, but I doubt it. Of course, this still puts her ten points higher than her boss, W., whose IQ is 90.
Even though she has been promoted, groomed, gone to the best schools, and given every break imaginable, I know that our best women here, such as Rusalka and Blood Axis, could beat Condoleezza in any intellectual contest. I would bet my life on it.
If there were any justice in this world, Condoleezza would be speaking from behind a bar as she serves Milesian his next Guinness while whispering slightly off-color jokes in his ear.
