What would it take for 'Shame'? What would have had to happen for her to feel 'Shame'? Is 'Shame' a thing of the past? I think the loss of accountability may be attributing to the loss of 'Shame'.

July 3 (Bloomberg) -- Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said she's ``proud'' of the U.S. decision to wage the Iraq war and insisted that the world is not more dangerous than it was when George W. Bush took office.
``We're now beginning to see that perhaps it's not so popular to be a suicide bomber. We're beginning to see that perhaps people are questioning whether Osama Bin Laden ought to really be the face of Islam,'' Rice, 53, said in an interview to be broadcast this weekend on Bloomberg Television's ``Conversations with Judy Woodruff.''
``And I am proud of the decision of this administration to overthrow Saddam Hussein,'' said Rice, who was Bush's national security adviser at the time of the March 2003 invasion. As of yesterday, 4,107 U.S. soldiers died in Iraq and more than 30,000 were wounded. She said the Iraq war has been ``tougher than any of us really dreamed.''
Rice, who backs the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Arizona Senator John McCain, said she ``thought it was great'' when the Democratic race came down to a woman and a black man. ``I didn't think it was surprising,'' she said.
People abroad are ``fascinated'' by Illinois Senator Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee, Rice added when asked what effect Obama's candidacy is having around the world.
``But I'll tell you something. Ultimately, whoever is elected president of the United States will represent the United States, not as a black president or as a woman president or as a black secretary of state or as a woman secretary of state, but the United States of America,'' Rice said.
Shame: Definition, n. A painful emotion caused by a strong sense of guilt, embarrassment, unworthiness, or disgrace ... In the beginning, there was no shame. ...

Okay, Condi. Hold on to your dreams. Don't give an inch and admit that you or your boss were dead wrong.
GWB said that in 40 years his decision to invade Iraq would be seen by historians as the right thing to do.
In 40 years, no matter what is actually said, he will no longer be around to speak on it either way.
How convenient for him.
For those who might still be around, let those, "I don't recalls", come flying. -
In 40 years hopefully i'll be around to deny that it was a good thing.

Proud/pride is not words that should be used by anyone who participated in the planning of the Iraq War. I guess they are incapable of shame.
Even after all the failures associated with the war, they still can't humble themselves enough to accept the failures for what they were. Errors in judgment. Lies associated with facts. Facts and lies were intermingled as though they were equal in value. It's an 'Assault on Reason'!
