Silence! Condi Is Talking
William F. Buckley Jr. - June 21, 2005

Some more straight-talk from our secretary of State.

There are ever so many reasons to regret, even to deplore, what Condoleezza Rice did in the Middle East, but there are those of us who yield, however apologetically, to the temptation to say: Never mind! Never mind protocol, tradition, stability, disputational refinements. Just take pleasure in the raw sight.

Here is a . . . black! . . . woman! . . . appearing in Saudi Arabia and saying to the princes of the country, as to the strongman of Egypt, that very specific reforms are in order. To begin with, said this slim U.S. Phi Bete occupying the second most august rank in the republic, Saudi Arabia should extend the vote to women. Another thing: Why are you people so poor? There are 22 nations in the Mideast cluster and their GDP, combined, is less than Spain’s?
