The puppy blender already pointed this out, but I believe this statement is so profound that it bears repeating.
Taken from Condoleezza Rice’s testimony today, speaking on progress toward a democracy in the new Iraq:
“So it's going to be a slow process. We know that the building of democracy is tough. It doesn't come easily. We have our own history. When our Founding Fathers said, "We the people," they didn't mean me. It's taken us a while to get to a multiethnic democracy that works.”Posted by Clancy at April 8, 2004 4:37 PM
