The Power of Rice.
Our Dec. 16 cover story on Condoleezza Rice prompted readers to share their views not only on the subject herself, but on the race issue, on the problems of successful women and on President Bush's foreign policy. "She's quite a gal!" gushed one letter writer; another confessed, "I'm no fan."
The Woman Behind Bush
In your Dec. 16 cover story on Condoleezza Rice, I wish you had included her admirable commitment as a member of the U.S. negotiating team under former president Bush, helping pave the way for Germany's reunification. By her own account, she wept with joy when she crossed one of history's most inhumane borders shortly after it had relinquished its horror. However, I have some doubts about whether Rice has what it takes to see the challenges facing America in the war on terror for what they really are. Some months ago, she gave an interview to the German news magazine Der Spiegel, comparing Al Qaeda to Palestinian militant organizations such as Hamas and Islamic Jihad, and implying that the latter should be next on the United States' list of groups to be eradicated. That's taking an attitude which will only strengthen the impression that America automatically sides with Israel by placing all its enemies squarely within the terrorist camp.

I am impressed by Condi Rice. Why is it, though, that all these successful men around her have families, and she doesn't? Why, in the case of a woman, must it be a choice between reaching the top and having a family? Also, notice the traditional mother/wife role she has in the most powerful circle in the world.
