Ironic?

Condoleezza Rice, during her Senate confirmation hearing:

"I do agree that the tsunami was a wonderful opportunity to show not just the U.S. government, but the heart of the American people, and I think it has paid great dividends for us." - via

How cynical is this???
Great dividends???
Talking about other people's disaster as an opportunity...
I sincerely hope that's just bad wording.

Ironija laikam neviet??. US "great dividends" retorik?? lieto arī k?? "liels pozitīvs efekts".

Ooo, to, ka "great dividends" ir dom??ta p??rnest?? nozīmē, es saprotu.

Ironija ir par ko citu - ka daudzu cilvēku traģēdiju ??ī d??ma sav?? run?? pozicionē k?? brīni??ķīgu iespēju ASV par??dīt cik viņi ir labi un ka t?? ir devusi lielu pozitīvu efektu. Var, protams, vēl strīdēties vai liels pozitīvs efekts ir dom??ts no pa??as traģēdijas vai arī no ??īs burvīg??s iespējas ASV par??dīt savu labo sirdi, bet kopum?? visa ??ī fr??ze ir t??da... slima...
