This is an archived blog post from The Acorn.

Pakistan is a model country for the Muslim world,” (Condoleezza) Rice said. [The News]

And would she care to explain how this statement fits in with the Bush administration’s vision to push freedom and democracy in the Muslim world?

It may be the need to find something nice to say to her hosts that led her to say this, but citing Pakistan as a model for the Muslim world is a too much over the top. You can pardon Turkey or Malaysia for wondering what they got wrong.
