a patriot and an inspiration

Former Secretary of State Dr. Condoleezza Rice spoke at Westmont on Friday, and I had the privilege of attending her talk at the Westmont Presidential Breakfast in the morning as well as the discussion in chapel.

Dr. Rice is an amazing woman, and her talk was both illuminating and inspirational.  The United States is better off because of her work as Secretary of State and National Security Advisor in the Bush Administration.

Dr. Rice spoke on a wide range of topics from the Cold War, to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, to education, as well as her family background.  She is a brilliant woman, and was able to make her points in an intelligent yet understandable way.
