All right, let's go through this. Powell's departure is not a surprise. Although there were a number of reports of division b/t him and the pentagon, Powell was always free to voice his opinion within the admin. He was not a lone sane voice in an otherwise evil empire of an administration. He was the one who sold the world on WMDs. He was the one who presented the evidence and provided the conclusions that the WMDs were there.
Powell's leaving does not presage the age of the neocons. Take a breath, folks. Be honest with yourselves. Does liking Powell make you feel somehow fair or moderate or o.k. with your intolerance of opposite or conservative viewpoints? Powell worked for the admin. for four years. He took an active part in many of the decisions many of you view as evil.
