Powell is the reason we stopped the Gulf War too soon in '91 and didn't get Saddam. He has reached and passed his level of incompetency. As poor as he is though, he is light years ahead of Madeline Halfbright.

Powell is a needed voice of restraint, prudence, and realism in an adminstration filled with folks who have been infected with the hubris of world social engineering. Unlike some of his rivals in the state department, Powell does not regard every foreign problem as easily solved through bureaucrats and bayonets.
