Rice said she isn't ready to think about how history will judge her as secretary of state. "The legacy will be for historians years down the road. But what I will remember most is that I think we stood for freedom and liberty for everybody, not just for a few," she said. But she is confident in her work in Washington, despite critics who have called the Bush administration one of history's worst. Rice said the attitude about Bush's handling of Iraq would change for the better "when the final chapters are written and it's clear that Saddam Hussein's Iraq is gone in favor of an Iraq that is favorable to the future of the Middle East." Rice, who golfs, enjoys watching football and plays piano, said she is ready to slow down, saying: "I'm looking forward to getting up and not having so much of a calendar and reading the newspaper and not thinking I have to do something about what's in it."
