	The tragedy of Colin Powell. - By Fred Kaplan - Slate Magazine
		Powell's statements on the Middle East came to be so widely ignored—because no one saw them as reflecting U.S. policy—that Bush sent Condoleezza Rice to the region when he wanted to send a message that would be taken seriously.
		Powell's best option, after January, may be to abandon his ambitions for further public office, nab a lucrative job in the private sector, and write the most outrageous kiss-and-tell political memoir that the world has ever seen.
		Kaplan that the inability of Colin Powell to pursue the enlightened and multilateral brand of foreign policy he envisioned in his role as Secretary of State is tragic but I disagree that casts him as a tragic figure politically.

	NewsHour Extra: The Powell Doctrine (short version) -- Lesson Plan
		Powell, currently the U.S. secretary of state, has recently invoked the Doctrine in articulating the justifications for the Bush administration's preparations for war in Iraq.
		Powell based this strategy for warfare in part on the views held by his former boss in the Reagan administration, Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger, and also on his own experience as a major in Vietnam.
		That protracted campaign, in Powell's view, was representative of a war in which public support was flimsy, the military objectives were not clear, overwhelming force was not used consistently, and an exit strategy was ill defined.
