It is an accurate designation of what he IS. It isnt an office but it IS a designation. Turning the office of Assistant Sec. of State for African affairs is a COMPLETELY different thing than what CNN called it. The government obviously doesnt need diplomats for AMERICANS IN THIS COUNTRY. That was actually pretty stupid. Alejandro Says:

Advisor, but the UN is a good fit for her. She is way too smart to not be given a position in the new admin. Aside from the CNN error, I like Susan Rice and she was my choice for Na’l Sec.

Well I guess if the Confederate States can do so in order to preserve oppression of the people of color, the people of color can do so to escape oppression ?????

This from a firm based in Atlanta. It looks like they're hiring part-timers and interns to do copyediting...

Ambassador, and perhaps NOW something will actually be done to stop genocide on this planet. The Bush administration has been playing footsie with Sudan because of their oil, while people are being slaughtered by their own government. It's not the only place, either. If there's any <em>just </em>reason to take military action, the prevention of genocide is that reason. I’m delighted with Susan Rice as the U.N.
