People have accused the Bush Administration of practicing unilateralism. His so called go it alone policy was the subject of scathing comments from both democrats and media. But Paula Dobriansky, a senior diplomat in the State Department, has a different story to tell:

The city of Sacramento conducted a very impressive Christmas tree lighting extravaganza. The Christmas tree with thousands of lights was declared to be The Capitol Christmas Tree. News anchors and reporters covering the event, as well as helicopter pilot and channel 3 reporter Dan Shively, made it abundantly clear that this was a Christmas tree (as opposed to a holiday tree.)
