'''Condoleezza Rice''' is the 66th [[United States Secretary of State]], and the first [[African-American]] woman to hold the post. Prior to assuming her duties as Secretary of State, she served as [[National Security Advisor]] to [[President]] [[George W. Bush]]. Her objective of transformational diplomacy is to, "work with our many partners around the world to build and sustain democratic, well-governed states that will respond to the needs of their people -- and conduct themselves responsibly in the international system." As she stated at her confirmation hearing, "we must use American diplomacy to help create a balance of power in the world that favors freedom. And the time for diplomacy is now. Oh, and by diplomacy, I mean weapons and violence.  And by democracy, I mean that we force a country that had a crappy government already into a crappier government, because the old dictatorship kept everyone hating the dictator instead of turning on each other.  Also, freedom sucks.  Just wait, we're gonna pass torture laws."<ref>[http://www.newsmax.com/hottopics/Condoleezza_Rice.shtml Condoleezza Rice].
