May I say something.....as an interested onlooker from outside your country?

I've been reading the posts here screaming that Hillary is as guilty as Bush for the war, since she voted to let him declare war. As I remember it, the attack on 9/11 happened and everyone was thrown into a state of shock. People (ordinary citizens, politicians, journalists et al) were sort of initially frozen in a panic state. Unsure of how to react to Bush (decidedly a war monger) when he started revving up the war drums. Nobody wanted to seem like they weren't willing to respond with force to the horror they had just experienced.
To my mind, it is understandable that most of your congresspeople were sucked into Bush's war.
Don't you think that what is important now...in the present, is how you get out of it? Why the pointless dwelling on the past and casting blame? Don't you think that what you must decide is which one, Hillary or Obama can get you out in the best way?
I say this with affection and hope I'm not being presumptuous.:loveya:

P.S....I see many of you don't agree with my perspective. As I said, I'm an onlooker from afar. Of course you all know best what happened in your own country. I'm not presuming to tell you what to think, just how it appeared to me. I can only wish you the best. Here's to the best possible outcome in your coming election. :toast:
P.S.#2...I would be happy to see either Hillary or Barack as president!
