>> Hillary is a hawk. You should love her.
She is a big spender, and I would oppose anyone in that category, which includes most Republicans.
While I'm certainly no "hawk", I do believe the US has a crucial role in the world and must sometimes step in. Iraq was one of those times; it was necessary to remove Saddam, and we could not have risked leaving him there with the potential for a Barack Obama to follow him.
While Obama has made a terrible mess, not only of Iraq, but the entire region, one can only imagine what a mess it would be were Saddam still in power. While one can argue that the Arab Spring would have have started in that instance, there was no way Bush could have anticipated such a nitwit would be elected in 2008. Any reasonable president would have taken the opportunity to pursue the Freedom Agenda, which is responsible for the Arab Spring, and turned it into a positive. As it turned out, we elected a damned fool who had no idea at all what to do with these developments, and set back Middle East initiatives by decades or even a century.
As we know, elections do have consequences and by electing Obama, a bull in a china shop, the damage done is immeasurable. |
