Now, WHY should she be a commencement speaker?

Is this a model to follow?

If we held people like Rice accountable, this could further lessen the chance of future wars being fought, and wars are fought for money. So we are given serial liars and failures like Rice on the lecture circuit and on talk shows, and no one pays for their lies in killing hundreds of thousands of innocent people.

This illustrates how sick our society is like no other example. Keeping people in poverty or locking them up for decades for non violent offenses is bad enough, but killing innocent people for profit is as low as it gets.
so condi rice lied to the UN? that is pure unadulterated rubbish and you know it. it was colin powell that spoke at the UN to get authorization to invade iraq, which we didnt need by the way because as has been stated many times THERE WAS NO PEACE TREATY signed after desert storm, only a cease fire agreement, which the iraqis constantly broke.

second, any intelligence, and any statements made by rice would have been based on the intelligence used by the clinton administration WHO MADE THE EXACT SAME CLAIMS about iraq that the bush administration did. but you liberals ignore that little fact, as well as you ignore the fact that starting two years BEFORE bush was elected, the democrats were making the same statements the bush administration did.

third the war was NOT illegal in that both congress and the UN AUTHORIZED the use of force, in fact the UN passed SEVERAL resolutions allowing the use of force. you guys need to stop trying to rewrite history and actually study it first.

Actually the same liberal professors who preach freedom of speech, self expression, etc.., are the ones that do not want her to speak. What a bunch of hypocritical dbags.
