'''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."<ref>[http://www.newsmax.com/hottopics/Condoleezza_Rice.shtml Condoleezza Rice]. Newsmax.</ref>

And the time for diplomacy is now.  On this note, I think that we should nuke Iran."<ref>[http://www.newsmax.com/hottopics/Condoleezza_Rice.shtml Condoleezza Rice]. Newsmax.</ref> When asked by reporters why we couldn't negotiate with Iran like we had negotiated with North Korea, Condoleeza put the reporters onto Bush to talk to.  Bush stated that we should nuke Iran because "I feel like it.  Now, I need somebody to change me!"  The reporters all fled.
