Bizarro World

This would be funny, if we weren't talking about someone who exercises some power in the failed Bush regime:
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said she could not confirm that an Afghan court had dismissed the case and stressed the U.S. needs to respect the sovereignty of Afghanistan, which she called a "young democracy."

"We have our history of conflicts that had to be worked out after a new constitution. And so the Afghans are working on it. But America has stood solidly for religious freedom as a bedrock, the bedrock, of democracy, and we'll see," AP quoted her as telling NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday.

Asked if U.S. Christian missionaries should be encouraged to go to Afghanistan, Rice said: "I think that Afghans are pleased to get the help that they can get" but added "we need to be respectful of Afghan sovereignty."
So now La Rice is concerned that we be properly respectful of other countries' sovereignty? Clearly, it's parallel-universe time. Watch for the following headlines soon:

"Larry Flynt Calls for Respect for Dignity of Women"

"George W. Bush: Toughen Academic Standards at Yale"

"Christopher Hitchens Denounces Demon Rum"

" 'Earmarks Must Go' -- Sen. Robert Byrd"
