I hope Hillary's e-mails creates the conditions in which Congress can have hearings on this and ultimately the wisdom of working hand-in-hand with violent religious extremists to fight wars that the American public wouldn't agree to if it were American soldiers involved.
Hillary has some foreign policy experience, but it's the kind of experience that's very similar to the kind that Dick Cheney and Paul Wolfowitz have.
