Neal;

s it really bad to have someone who is both smart and tough in the White House?

Well we have had someone who is tough - and what has that got us? I think it is time for someone smart.

If I thought Hillary was smart and could do a good job leading the country, I would not hesitate supporting her for President. Time and time again though she has come across - to me - as mean and lacking judgement. Her latest pander is to buy votes with a gas tax holiday. That is no leadership in my mind and is the exact wrong appoarch to high energy. Until she starts showing a vision and good judgement, she is not my candidate.

WWII and other incidents showed that you can't always negotiate the problems of the world away.

True, but the difference between the two is that Germany was a huge military power, dwarfing what the US had. Today WE are the huge military power dwarfing what the ME radicals have. We don't have to show a knife - they all know we have big bombs. If there is one thing we should take away from our Afghanistan and Iraq adventures it is that talking tuff has got us no where
