In reply to the discussion: This is a big part of "why not Hillary?", at least for me... [View all]Wounded Bear
(58,645 posts)7. The real problem is not that we should lead...
The real problem is how we lead. If we're the richest and most powerful, we have an obligation to lead, but to do so in a humanitarian and humble way. History is strewn with examples of empires that did it the other way, the "Bush" way if you will, and they all pretty much ended the same way, in destruction and ruin.
The classic style of "leadership" seems to be mostly a combination of bullying and greed, guaranteed to make the rest of the world rise up and join in on destroying us.

No question, and it's Hillary's style of leadership that's got us in all these wars and other conflicts that kill and maim innocent people.
