Rich Lowry at NRO has a great piece on Condi today...

Capping off a celebration of the fact that we finally have a real Sec. of State who's young, vigorous and loyal to the President's policies, he makes an excellent point on her affect as the public diplomatic face of America:

"The message of her ascension to the top echelon of the U.S. government couldn't have come at a better time. When Bush is trying to reform a part of the world that has the lowest possible regard for women, Rice implicitly says women are as capable as men. When Bush wants Middle Eastern governments to respect pluralism and people of all faith and ethnicities, Rice implicitly says race and creed needn't matter. When Bush is extolling the power of freedom and American ideals, Rice implicitly says liberty and respect for human dignity can triumph over injustice, as they did in her 1950s-era Birmingham, Ala."

Go Condi Go! Link
