A great and worthy ceiling breaker, and an excellent SoS.

Yes. Compassion isn't a requirement.
Waaaaaaay OT: Please watch NJ Senator Cory Booker when it was his turn with Ketanji Brown Jackson today.
It was inspirational. It was beautiful. I cried.

"Albright was a central figure in President Bill Clinton's administration, first serving as US ambassador to the United Nations before becoming the nation's top diplomat in his second term. She championed the expansion of NATO, pushed for the alliance to intervene in the Balkans to stop genocide and ethnic cleansing, sought to reduce the spread of nuclear weapons, and championed human rights and democracy across the globe."
"We have heard that half a million [Iraqi] children have died. I mean, that is more children than died in Hiroshima," Stahl said. "And, you know, is the price worth it?"
"I think that is a very hard choice," Albright answered, "but the price, we think, the price is worth it." </a>
May she rot in hell.
I can't get that link to work. Ergo lack substantiation for your conclusion.
The "quote" is part of an interview 60 minutes aired in 1996 between Leslie Stahl and Madeline Albright.
There is some "out of context" there as the "we have heard" reference to the deaths was regarding the sanctions levied on Saddam Hussein and the Iraqi government following the years after gulf war one.
No corroboration was ever given to the "heard" numbers mentioned during the interview.
Albright had more to say, since that was not the end of the interview.
Copies of the interview can be purchased from CBS, but I have no intention of purchasing it.
Yes, even CBS can cherry pick for sensationalism and gotcha.
"What's the frequency, Kenneth?:"
Thanks. Yes, 60 minutes has floated some biased slanted misinformation in the past. it is best I do not get started on that path, 60 Minutes too could burn in hell for their misdeeds if one just cherry picked their history, but the broach lady's public service contributions seem laudable more-so than damnable in my recollection.
She sure has gotten recent rave reviews from Bill Clinton.
