Outposts of Tyranny
In this week’s Senate confirmation hearings, Secretary of State-designate Condoleezza Rice listed six countries as “outposts of tyrannyâ€Â: Cuba, Belarus, Burma, Iran, North Korea and Zimbabwe.
A longer list might have been put forward, containing twelve to twenty names. But this is the Age of Television, which puts a premium on abbreviation and verbal condensation. What is significant in Ms. Rice’s listing is not the size of the list or the list itself.
