WASHINGTON, October 13, 2006 (RFE/RL) -- Former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright left government more than six years ago but she has not left public life. She now heads up the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs and teaches at the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service. In her latest book, "The Mighty and the Almighty: Reflections on America, God and World Affairs," Albright writes about how President George W. Bush has ceded U.S. moral authority on human rights issues, why Muslims are willing to listen to Al-Qaeda, and the role religious leaders should play in international conflicts.
"I've done a lot of reading of the Koran, and of the Old Testament and the New Testament. I have found bloodcurdling parts in all of them. But I have also found very similar language on issues such as peace, justice, love, and social conscience that's all very similar," Albright said.
Albright also had critical words for the way U.S. President Bush has run his "war on terror." She believes the United States has forfeited its role in the world as the standard-bearer on human rights.
Some highlights from Madeleine Albright's book:
On the United States' failure to intervene sooner during the Serbian army's crackdown in Kosovo: "This was indeed one of those times when, to echo the words of [American civil rights leader] Martin Luther King Jr., our position should have been based not on what was safe, but on what was right."

Kerry just came out on the moral authority bandwagon this week too. have you ever noticed how the one gets an idea and the others jump on it. Almost like a Vast Left Wing Conspiracy.

For my last two years, I had to walk past her picture hanging in the U S Diplomatic Mission in Havana. She is without a doubt the most embarrassing cabinet officer ever to have schlepped the state portfolio.

I am getting tired of all these immigrants telling us what America should be. Also, this book is at least a year old. The only reason they can trot it out now is that nobody read it.

Other than the crucifixion, can anyone cite a bloodcurdling part in the New Testament?
