"Softer Tone Emerges in Rice's Statements"

[GreenPartyVoter]

WASHINGTON (AP) - As Condoleezza Rice begins her second year as secretary of state, she appears to be striking a newly confident and more compassionate stance in her foreign policy pronouncements.

During her four years as President Bush's national security adviser, Rice kept a low profile and largely avoided any public display of her policy views. In her first months as secretary of state, she carefully followed administration scripts and seemed, at times, a bit uncomfortable in speeches and news conferences.

But now, she has begun displaying a sure-footed ease as Bush's top diplomat. Last week she displayed self-assurance as she praised the administration of Democratic President Truman for decisions that helped win the Cold War.

That perspective would smack of blasphemy to many rock-ribbed Republicans more inclined to credit former President Reagan with bringing down the Soviet Union.

3. Compassionate?

Why is that word so familiar?
Oh yeah, it's a prefix that, when attached to the word Conservative, has the uncanny ability to make a lot of gullible people believe the unbelievable.
