In reply to the discussion: Who is Hillary Clinton to say Assad must go? [View all]Fool Count
(1,230 posts)narrow-mindedness on the part of most commenters on this thread. Hillary must have just read
Steve Jobs' biography and decided to give a go to his famous "reality distortion field" to achieve
one of the long-standing goals of US foreign policy - regime change in Syria. She thinks that she,
with valuable help from brainwashed American public, can wish Assad into resigning, regardless
of what Syrian people want. It's like another variation on the "Secret" - if you wish for something
really-really strongly it should somehow come true. Just keep repeating "Assad must go, Assad
must go, Assad must go,..." and, who knows, he may go. This approach may somewhat lack in
effectiveness, but it sure as hell is less costly than what McCain proposes, and is definitely more
humane than bombing Syria. So she certainly gets points for that. The only down side here, really,
is that if somehow Assad fails to comply and doesn't go, she and the whole US government would
look silly and lose credibility, but that's just what international community expects from them anyhow.
