The Iraq War and all the policies put in place by the Bush/Cheney regime to ensure we will be engaged in forever war, the fearmongering Patriot Act eg.

On the I/P situation, he supports the two state solution stating that Palestinians have a 'right to their own country, their own economy etc. He clearly cannot stand Netanyahu, which makes sense, considering that Bibi is such a far right warmonger and the polar opposite of Bernie.

The fact that he foresaw all the problems our foreign wars would create back when the country was being lied to, and voted accordingly shows that he is in possession of two most important qualities necessary in a good leader, the ability to consider consequences AND be right about them, foresight iow, and Good Judgement.

We need a leader with those qualities, not one who fails to see consequences, or ignores them or is in possession of the necessary judgement to make right decisions at the right time, NOT after it is too late. We need that badly.
