Condoleezza Rice

To those who read the Foreign Affairs article, I thought it would be nice to have certain background on the author. And to those who did not read it, it won't do any harm:).

Condoleezza Rice
Former National Affairs Advisor in the 2001-2005 Bush Administration and Former Secretary of State in the 2005-2009 Bush Administration, Rice is an example to us all. Althought some find her measures questionable, her capability is undeniable.
Originally a professor in Stanford University, she came to be part of Boards of Directors of several very important enterprises. She is a Republican.
She was the first black woman, second African American, and the second woman to hold the post as Secretary of State. She has won to fo the highest teaching honours Stanford University offers: the Walter J. Gores Award for Excellence in Teaching in 1984 and the School of Humanities and Sciences Dean's Award for Distinguished Teaching in 1993.
After the end of her term in the White Office as Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice returned to her teaching posts in both Stanford and the Hoover Institution.


Here's an excerpt from a 2008 video in which Rice discusses nuclear weapons in Iran, the United States' relationship with this country and the USA position towards it.
