(1,729 posts)War has casualties. I'm sure there were innocents killed in the Bosnian War but I think the atrocious that were going on there made a strong case for our being there. While I am no war hawk, there are times where force is necessary. I am 100% for what went on in Libya. War may be an evil, but it is a sometimes necessary one. Outside of our coffee house socials and dog walks in the park, the world is a very, very dangerous place. I think Hillary understands this in a way that Bernie does not.
And ultimately I have no real issue with her cheering Gaddafi's death. It might have been a little excessive in terms of diplomacy. She's certainly no Obama. None of these current candidates have his finesse. But it's certainly not something that will make me not vote for her. I'm going to vote for whichever Dem wins the nom, not just because of the policies (which I think are close enough though I weigh more with Hillary's policies), but because of the character of the individual. Again, neither of them is an Obama, but I think she'll do pretty well.
