When I saw Susan Rice faking her sympathy for the Syrian people, I could not help but remember Condoleezza Rice when she kept reacting to Israeli butchery in Lebanon in 2006 by insisting that the time for a cease-fire is not "ripe". Also, how dare Rice express scorn for the veto power at the UN when no power has abused the veto power more than the US and always in defense of Israeli war crimes.
