With all the uproar (at least on the right) over Sen. Barbara Boxer's, dare we say, catty remarks to Secretary Rice about her lack of children perhaps we should turn our eyes to our last female Secretary of State. Madeline Albright has three children, daughters who have done quite well in life two of them being lawyers and the third a banker. This procreational demonstration on the part of his State Department head is no doubt what gave Bill Clinton the right to make an unprovoked attack on Serbia. The fact they were daughters who as women are naturally more empathetic than male children are is why President Clinton insisted he needed no Congressional approval to make the assault and could also safely bypass any messy entanglements with UN Security Council.
And so America was spared any talk of "illegal, preemptive wars" and "unprovoked aggression."
It would be beneath me to mention the fact that none of Ms. Albright's daughters served in the United States Armed Forces.
