Is there such a thing as a stupid intellectual? Absolutely. There are many of them. Ms Rice is an extremely good example. She's stupid and arrogant. An invader has no right to talk about democracy. Imperialist mentality and true spirit of democracy and human rights are mutually exclusive. Period. "There is nothing wrong with the people of the Middle East," Rice said today in France. "They can triumph and triumph democratically." Who is she to lecture on democracy? Hypocrite. Various US administrations have been helping dictatorial Middle East governments oppress their people. US Middle East policy is the obstacle for Arabs to achieve democracy. What's wrong are not the Middle East people. What's wrong are the US policy and the Middle East rulers.
