and not others. You can read about it. Here are a few references but there are many many more such examples. I'm just pasting something from yesterday.

Iraq: Voted for Bush's illegal war. Destabilized the whole region. Led to ISIS. Later she admitted the vote was a mistake.

Libya: Hillary's policies turned Libya into a terrorist hell hole. As the secretary of state in 2011, Hillary Clinton pressed the Obama administration to intervene militarily in Libya, with consequences that have gone far beyond the fall of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi. (SOURCE) The president was wary. The secretary of state was persuasive. But the ouster of Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi left Libya a failed state and a terrorist haven. (SOURCE)

Syria: Same exact story as Libya. Hilary Clinton encouraged president Obama to arm the Syrian rebels in trying to overthrow the government there. The result is a failed state that is crawling with terrorists like Al Qaeda and is the ISIS capital. She hasn't apologized for this yet. But instead she has only attacked president Obama, accusing him of not arming the rebel groups enough, and pushed the president toward a conflict with Russia, which thank goodness he has avoided.

And the trail of destruction doesn't end there. You can look at Honduras, Colombia, Haiti, for further examples.
