What good is HRC's foreign policy experience?
If you start as a hawk, you can never be anything BUT a hawk.
If she was to propose that we focus on the only good parts of that experience...humanitarian work in support of women and children in poor countries...I could respect that experience.
No one who wants us to be doing even MORE militarily in the Middle East(and even more "regime change"
can ever be the author of any progressive change in the world.
We should only use force to defend ourselves from external attack. In this day and age, an age when no war can ever have progressive results for the rest of eternity, when all future foreign wars we will ever involve ourselves in in the future will be wars of "national interest"
in other words, solely in the interest of corporations).
She needs to remember what she knew in the Sixties...that escalating a war will always bring social change to a stop. And she needs to acknowledge that, short of a threat to our own physical survival, nothing can ever be worth bringing social change to a stop.
And she needs to realize that we are no longer a country that will ONLY elect a president who looks like she is just itching to send in the Marines or the Delta Force or Seal Team Six somewhere.
