Final Conflict: When Genocide Wins Votes

When Genocide Wins Votes

So Hillary "I dodged bullets in Bosnia" Clinton has said she is willing to "obliterate" Iran if it attacks Israel.

Hmmmm. And what section of voters is that little peach-of-a-speech aimed at?

Is this Hillary the Peacenik? Is this Hillary the Liberal? Or when push comes to shove, when the shekels are down, will Hillary back the Neo Cons' machinations - just as she did when Iraq was first invaded?

She tried to paint herself as an opponent of the war when this electoral train left the station, but we can now see how much pigswill that was.

The question we should all be asking now is if Hillary the Peacenik and Hillary the Liberal will agree to "obliterate Israel" if Israel attacks Iran (as it has threatened to do).

If not - why not?

Or should we believe that a certain group would not tolerate that kind of talk? Is obliterating one state "hatred" whilst obliterating another is just vote fodder?

Who mentioned a conspiracy?

Quote of the Week

“Unless people start life with a culture of their own, exposure to other cultures will seldom enhance their moral or even aesthetic awareness. Without home culture, as it used to be called – a background of firmly held standards and beliefs – people will encounter the “other” merely as consumers of impressions and sensations, as cultural shoppers in pursuit of the latest novelties. It is important for people to measure their own values against others and to run the risk of changing their minds; but exposure to others will do them very little good if they have no minds to risk. New perspectives presuppose a pre-existing point of view.”
