The US "at war with every other nation in the world" under Hillary. Sorry, that just doesn't hold water. What it does is point up the visceral anti-Hillary sentiment, based on no logic whatsoever, that does exist.

Interestingly enough, I'm not at all enthusiastic about Hillary either--for entirely different reasons. It seems she's so desperate to be president that she's trying to straddle too many issues. Her refusal to admit she was wrong in voting to give Bush authority for the Iraq war rubs me the wrong way. In contrast to John Edwards' straightforward mea culpa.

And the recent statement "we must keep all options on the table" in reference to Iran does not help the situation. As an intelligent woman, she knows precisely what she's saying--and, by saying that, she is supporting the Bush regime in its sabre-rattling.

Pretty obviously trying to position herself as what she imagines as a "moderate" in foreign policy. Sorry, supporting Bush in that way does not indicate "moderation".

I wouldn't think any thinking person would believe she would attack Iran as president--but she is now giving aid and comfort to the same loose cannons who just brought us the Iraq war.
