"As people around the world struggle to build democracies of their own, the effort to protect the rights of ethnic, religious, and other minorities is a daunting challenge. As the American experience shows, it will continue long after the democracy is stable. But it helps to have a 'spirit of constitutionalism,' and a belief that the institutions of the nation are in the end just -- and that it is worth the trouble to use them." - Condoleezza Rice
