Salim Mansur-Condi's Middle East visit.........

"In addressing an Egyptian audience gathered at the American University in Cairo, Rice observed: “For 60 years, my country, the United States, pursued stability at the expense of democracy in this region here in the Middle East — and we achieved neither. Now, we are taking a different course. We are supporting the democratic aspirations of all people.”

To those in the Middle East who say America has no business imposing democracy, or any other form of government in the region, Rice’s response is, “Democracy is never imposed. It is tyranny that must be imposed.”
