Certainly Eritrea is the country of greatest concern,"

#3 I confess that when the Eritreans were first fighting for their independence that I had some sympathy for them. This was back in the '90s when the Aethiops were still mostly a commie state, and here were the brave freedom-loving Erits fighting for their homes.

Hmmmmmph. Shows you what I knew.

#5 "Color me impressed, I didn't think the State Dept would say anything that blunt. Is she a Bolton protégé?"
