For Princess Diana's funeral we sent VP Gore to Britain, a nation in mourning who is an ally. We did not send Madeline Albright, To today's Madrid Memorial for the 190 dead from the bombings we've sent Secretary of State Powell. I would think in light of the magnitude of the event, that our VP if not the P would have joined more than a dozen other world leaders at the event. But then we're talking world leaders of which we're currently fresh out.
