He has been one of the most effective and admired diplomats in America's history. Secretary Powell has helped to rally the world in a global war, has helped to resolve dangerous regional conflicts; he's helped to confront the desperate challenges of hunger, poverty and disease. He has been tireless and selfless and principled, and our entire nation is grateful for his lifetime of service.
It's interesting now that Powell is being critical of Bush, conservatives seem to be coming out of the woodwork criticizing him. This is a guy who basically put his reputation and 30+ year-career at risk to deliver the administration message at the United Nations, among other things. I think to rip him to shreds now, simply because he expresses a contrary opinion (which he has every right to do), is frankly shameful.
