This Week with George Stephanopoulos

This Week with George Stephanopoulos will feature Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Indiana Junior Senator Evan Bayh. This is his second sunday morning appearance since the elections in November. This is from George's recent email:

The voting has begun among Iraqi expatriates and will begin in earnest in Iraq Sunday morning. There, the turnout will be a measure of how courageous or intimidated the electorate is. By any measure, it's an important milestone in a country that hasn't had a free election since it gained independence as a kingdom in 1932. The big question is: What happens next? Is Iraq on the road to democracy or a civil war?

On Sunday morning, Peter Jennings in Baghdad will have the latest on the voter turnout and whether insurgents have made good on their promise to disrupt election day.

We'll then turn to the newly sworn-in secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice, for reaction to the voting and a sense of where U.S. policy is headed amid fresh calls for a U.S. exit strategy in Iraq. Rice will fly to Europe and the Middle East next week on her first diplomatic mission. The tensions that have plagued the Israeli-Palestinian divide still run deep, but the new Palestinian leadership may hold some promise. We'll get a preview of Rice's trip.

Then, a senator who was one of 13 to vote against Rice's confirmation. Evan Bayh, D-Ind., a member of the Armed Services Committee, will explain his vote and where the U.S. Iraq policy should go. His name is often listed as a potential Democratic presidential candidate in 2008.

Following the single deadliest day for U.S. forces in Iraq, there has been increasing debate over U.S. policy there. Peter Jennings joins Cokie Roberts and George Will in our panel to discuss the Iraq vote and what lies ahead.

And we'll remember two giants in their fields and a woman who was loyal to the end.

See you Sunday.

Johnny Carson? Woods? Who else?
