Shake that head, bro

I know I'm beginning to sound like a Kerry partisan, but these people are just so, so - bizarre. From CNN for Monday:

National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice also questioned Kerry's comments.

"I heard Senator Kerry say that there was some kind of 'global test' that you ought to be able to pass to support preemption, and I don't understand what that means," Rice told CNN's "Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer."

"I don't understand 'proving to the world that you did it for legitimate reasons,'" she said.

Maybe Kerry meant something like this (hopefully Rice will be able to recognize the source):

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. ...

[L]et Facts be submitted to a candid world.

Some people got it: If you can't justify it in the eyes of "a candid world," you probably shouldn't be doing it. That she "doesn't understand" that is appalling.
