MADAM SECRETARY RICE UNDERSTRAIN? If so, is it jetlag or conscience?

Madam Secretary Condoleezza Rice, US, was caught on camera in a seemingly fatigued nature at the Rome Conference On Lebanon, July 26, 2006, while listening, apparently, to a translation. She appeared to be "under strain," writes Suzy Austin of the UK Metro, in her side caption to the accompanying photo shown above. Could her apparent strain be because of the "A-moral" policy towards Lebanon she is proffering for the US and Israeli administrations? Is it because her conscience is eating away at her as horrid visions of innocent Lebanese men and women and children haunt her every human thought and soul?My understanding is that Ms Rice is a woman of deep moral and ethical character, with strong religious ties. Perhaps, her loyalty to friend, Mr Bush, and her moral convictions are clashing? Maybe it's time for her to simply walk away, resign, before her reputation is disastrously destroyed due to her affiliation with Mr Bush and his "A-moral" policies.

Loyalty to friend only goes so far. Never at the expense of selling your soul, or destroying your reputation.
A public officials loyalty and dedication should be foremost to the Constitution and to the peoples of the respoective country they serve. Not to one individual or the administration holding power at any given time. You decide!

The Secretary appears to show further strain as she stood before a news conference after the meeting (?). Was it jetlag or conscience? Again, you decide!
