And it is YOUR problem. And I hope you realize how undemocratic your problem is.

And it should have been lost five years earlier than that, if I'm really honest with myself about it.

6. Human beings reduced to ''collateral'' that can be damaged reveals a twisted mind.

It does explain how someone can sleep at night, after playing a role in approving actions that led to the death of MILLIONS of innocent people in Iraq and across the Middle East who had NOTHING to do with 9-11.

Oh. And Poppy Bush lied America into war in Iraq back in 1990, as well. Iraq and Kuwait had ZERO to do with American security, apart from who gets to receipts from the oil spigot.

That does it for me. Gaddafi's death was pretty medieval, beaten, mobbed, shot, grenaded, etc. Sheer horror. And I know he was a really bad sociopath despot and all that, but he was also a person.

Shows a complete lack of empathy and compassion on Hilary's part. I fear she will bring perpetual war, fuel even more Oligarchy, and continue the plundering of the middle class and our very sovereignty with that heinous TPP. And fighting global climate change might offend some of her corporate donors.

Plus her Democratic establishment machine is very unfair to the Bernie campaign and any basic sense of fair play. Shes playing it just like GW did back in 2000 in terms of gaming the system.

Yet, she'll go in front of Congress and testify that her travel around the world as Secretary of State makes her extra-sensitive to issues relating to girls and women's rights globally.
