Let's see, how about all the other stuff? I'm not very worried about terrorism- I don't see it as the huge problem some other people do. I am more worried about our economic future, since that affects more people- and if you want to talk nukes, that deficit is a huge nuke hanging over all our heads- it's big, it's real, and it's already here. The ME is a lost cause, and any *peace process* there is, imo, doomed from the start- so I think we leave it alone as much as possible (certainly no bible driven remedies, please)- the don't blow on my watch- a superb move, imo- the Mr. Bush move of "Let's blow it up bigger" does not work for me. China is the country to sit on North Korea- not us. I'm not sure what you would have had Clnton do to N. Korea. Would you have liked him to go to war? Then how could you have a war in Afghanistan, and IRaq? We'd be stretched mighty thin.
The economy, Nadine, is of prime importance to me, followed by the environment.
So, Nadine, that is what I mean. I was happy then with policy (not completely, but good enough) and I am not happy now. You see things so differently, and your extreme interest in Israel is so different from my lack of interest in it, that our desires in foreign policy are bound to be very, very different. I put the welfare of the US first, and really, only care about that. I would support humanitarian aid for other countries, but letting our foreign policy suffer for other countries? I think not. |
