icLiverpool: Should city welcome Condoleezza Rice?
Well this is one up for the Scousers I must admit.
We Scots thought we were doing well when we had the G8 heads of government here at Gleneagles in July 2005 and I suppose we were doing well. 
Lobbyists lobbied the G8, protestors protested and the G8 heads of government made some more promises. 
But Liverpool and Blackburn have gone one better than Gleneagles G8 and that one is Condoleezza Rice, the leader of the free world. 
“But hang on”, I hear you say, “isn’t Condi only Bush’s number 2, just the US Secretary of State?”.
Well yes and no. Constitutionally, the US Secretary of State is actually only number 4 in the US pecking order.
But the free world does not take its lead from the US Constitution - venerable though that is.
The love for freedom lives in the minds of men and women and each of us decide for ourselves in whom we place our trust and hopes for the future.
Increasingly, people who have heard Condoleezza Rice speak are looking to her to lead the free world at this time of challenge and opportunity. Many are actively pressing for Condi to run for President of the United States of America in 2008. 
So Gleneagles G8 was like an orchestra without the conductor, a ballet without the ballerina or the Beatles without John Lennon. 
Imagine a free and democratic Iraq with no dictators and no suicide bombers and a future of peace and prosperity for the people there.
That’s what happens when a war is won by the good people. It happened in Germany, in Japan and in Italy when World War 2 was won. So it is not too hard to imagine it happening in Iraq too.
Some may say that Condi and her Condistas are dreamers but we’re not the only ones. I hope some day they’ll join us, and the world will live as one.
