  1. Madeline Albright had lived an extraordinary life
    She got to serve in public office serving as Secretary of State
    Breaking barriers as
    the first women to serve as Secretary of State
    She made history
    along with several others
    who followed her after she left office
    She was a grateful american
    Her family had a history
    Her grandparents were Jewish and victims of the holocaust
    She leaves behind a historic legacy
    And leaves behind her children, her grandchildren, her brothers and sisters, her nieces and nephews, and many more
    She is now in a better place
    Getting to see her old friend General Colin Powell, who has been watching over us now for 6 months now, once again

  2. She was respected and may she enjoy the heavens 🙏🏽 She might be added to gods counsel. I’ve always seen her as a strong voice. May god strengthen her family in these sad times. I always liked her she seemed like a beautiful mother trying to do what was best for her country and for her family. Her heart for the country was real.

  3. Another vile wicked evil woman went to everlasting flames.

  4. what wonderful Czech/American woman…🥂thank you for your service.🌻✨💖 rip

  5. only the good die young

  6. Woo…Hooo….PARTY TIME !! 🥳

  7. A great woman, brilliant mind, one of my heroines. We owe her much gratitude and are better because of her lifelong commitment to service.

  8. Today I choose to mourn five hundred thousand iraqi children whose lives were needlessly, cruelly, and casually snuffed out by US sanctions. Madeline thought of those dead children as loose change … "We think the price was worth it" Most of those kids were children under five years old, Madeline died at 84. Boo hoo.

  9. Deepest Condolences Madam Secretary Albright RIP

  10. And the world is better off for it. Too bad this didn't happen 30 years Sooner

  11. On May 12, 1996, Albright defended UN sanctions against Iraq on a 60 Minutes segment in which Lesley Stahl asked her, "We have heard that half a million children have died. I mean, that's more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?" and Albright replied, "We think the price is worth it."

  12. Since YT removed my comment, I will be polite: Good news, finally!

  13. She was so involved right until the end of her life. A great lady indeed.

  14. I don't care if she was a woman – she was a horrible hawk

  15. She was a horrible hawk
