Good. Colin Powell is a blind naivette. He has no moral clarity. He cannot call evil what it is, and he cannot call an enemy an enemy.

No, I think General Powell has already used the term "evil" to refer to certain "conservative" elements in his "own" party. Do you doubt the general's loyalty to his "party"?

I think your post says it all about Colin Powell...

He is much better suited to have been a high school principle, but only at an outer suburban school -- "inner-city" kids would have eaten him up alive.
