compromise.
readers digest.
RD: America was united as a nation right after the 9/11 attacks, but today Americans are deeply divided along partisan lines. Is there something you might have done to maintain that unity?
Condoleeza Rice: I still think there's an underlying unity. But perhaps we didn't have time to reflect fully on what 9/11 was going to require of us as a country. Did it mean we were going to hunt down Al Qaeda as the organisation that did this to us? Perhaps capture Osama bin Laden, and then we could return to life as we knew it? Or was this instead a struggle of a generation to change the very circumstances that created Al Qaeda?
