One thing about Powell, his place in history is assured: as a figure of Shakespearean proportions as far as tragedy is concerned. But he has all the qualities of one of the Bard's more minor tragic characters. Not 'Hamlet'-worthy by a long shot, but maybe someone out of 'Titus Andronicus', some role that isn’t readily remembered. Or maybe he is just the third stooge (great photo of the 3, together again!) The problem is, Powell does not have the aura of greatness about him. He towed the company line, and his sell-out makes any latter day statements he may make about the war dubious at best. To my mind, he has all the integrity of Richard Perle & Co., who bitch about the fact that they were right about Iraq, but their ideas just weren't prosecuted correctly.<br /><br />And on a different subject, when is Paul Wolfowitz going to be dragged back into the spotlight and roasted? We've heard from everybody but him. Is the splendid isolation of the World Bank impregnable? Believe me, I don't expect NPR to do ANY sort of probing in that direction!Porter Melmothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11473990960543501439noreply@blogger.com
