If Condoleezza Rice were a mother

If Condoleezza Rice were the mother of young children, would she have looked at Iraq differently?

What would Lady Macbeth have done?

“I have given suck, and know
How tender 'tis to love the babe that milks me:
I would, while it was smiling in my face,
Have pluck'd my nipple from his boneless gums,
And dash'd the brains out, had I so sworn as you
Have done to this.''
