Jeane J. Kirkpatrick, a guiding voice of Reagan-era conservatism and the first woman to serve as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, has died. She was 80.
President Reagan nominated Kirkpatrick to the U.N. post in 1981; she held the job until 1985. In the Cold War era, she was a proponent of U.S. support for pro-Western dictatorships, and she believed that pro-Soviet communist states posed a far greater threat to world stability. That philosophy came to be known as the "Kirkpatrick Doctrine..." |

I do not see Satan ever moderating his government. Strongly suggest his is a totalitaian state, then.
Therefore she would not ally with but rather against him...  |

Yeah, this guy getting eaten alive by the giant bird wouldn't seem to have much hope of seeing "eternal damnation with a human face" anytime soon...
However, the free-form flute section to the left of the bird might suggest a degree of artistic autonomy not normally found in classical totalitarianism. |
