Robinia, I do agree 100 per cent that Clarke has much more about him than his military background, and on what little I've vbeen able to follow in the UK about the candidates, he would have got my vote. Not because he's pro-Israel: I'd begun to think that everyone has to be pro-Israel in the USA to stand a chance of getting elected. Well maybe there's some truth in that, but CarolC is opening my eyes with the evidence that some politicians don't fall in with that.

CarolC: LOL - though I'm totally deflated now! I've NEVER been called a witch....
