DescriptionSecretary of State Condoleezza Rice is drawing a parallel between the Iraq war and the U.S. Civil War. Both had their critics, but both were justified, she says.

In both cases, it was the right decision to fight and see the wars through, Rice, a southern-born black woman, said in an interview with Essence Magazine.

ice then offered a parallel between critics of the administration's Iraq policies and "people who thought it was a mistake to fight the Civil War to its end and to insist that the emancipation of slaves would hold."
