Is Bush and Rice Trying to Rebrand U.S. Image?
Let me be the first to say it: Condoleezza Rice may be in line for a Nobel Peace Prize," proclaimed Nancy E. Soderberg, a senior national security advisor in the Clinton administration, in a February 20, 2005 Los Angeles Times article headlined "A Second-Term Shift"? The author of "The Superpower Myth, the Use and Misuse of American Might" wrote:
As a critic of the Bush administration and a Democrat, I'm not a fan of Rice's record as national security advisor. But if her new rhetoric means a real second-term conversion, she may go down in history as one of the most successful secretaries of State ever.Ms. Soderberg said "U.S. actions over the last four years have been driven by Rice and colleagues who believe that as the lone superpower, the United States is powerful enough to act whenever and wherever it wants, primarily through military means. That costly myth has made the superpower burden heavier — and spiked anti-Americanism to unprecedented levels that, in turn, breed further terrorist attacks," she contends, adding: There are signs, however, that the administration may be abandoning this myth."
