From realclearpolitics this date:
Hillary's direct quote in her inestimable words:
"I am not in favor of this rush for war, but I'm also not in favor of
doing nothing. Iran is seeking nuclear weapons," Clinton said in
defending her stance. "And the Iranian Revolutionary Guard is in the
forefront of that, as they are in the sponsorship of terrorism."
Directly confronting her critics, the senator said, "So some may
want a false choice between rushing to war, which is the way the
Republicans sound -- it's not even a question of whether, it's a
question of when and what weapons to use -- and doing nothing.
"I prefer vigorous diplomacy. And I happen to think economic sanctions are part of vigorous diplomacy."
Has there even been a problem here in America or in the world that has been 100% solved because of honest, truthful, followed diplomacy? I don't believe so. It is the height of irresponsibility to believe that you can believe liars and cheats...we do so at our own peril! Here is a copy of my email to Kevin Sullivan of Real Clear Politics who believes we should talk, talk, talk:
How does ones engage in diplomatic talks, when one side is lying to gain its goals. Cheats when necessary to accomplish them. And, more important, if their "god" tells them this is O.K. to do and it has been successfully done for over 1300 years to achieve ends, why would anyone
with a brain believe or depend on a word they utter?
