Next on Condi's To Do List

Jim Hoagland at the WaPost says now that Condi Rice has improved US relations abroad she faces another trying challenge - improving relations between the administration and the foreign policy bureacracy. As Hoagland notes it is the rare chief executive who thinks highly of the mandarins at state. He mentions Kennedy but he had a love affair with state compared to someone like Nixon. If Condi pulls this off she deserves the Nobel.
