Sue,<br><br>I can't go with her because of the positions she has taken on foreign policy and what I see as her reflexive lunge to the right when she is challenged as a 'liberal.'<br><br>She made a conscious decision to not apologize for her Iraq war vote, and it immediately cost her my vote as well as others who feel as strongly as I do on this issue. She tried to explain it away by saying she would have done something different 'if she knew then what she knows now.' That doesn't work for me, as the information was available then too. She also says she didn't think Bush would go to war with that authority.<br><br>If that is the case, why did she vote for Kyl-Lieberman, and give him the authority he may well use to bomb Iran? If you question Bush's use of the authority you give him, why give him more? <br><br>I hear arguments that she's intelligent and experienced, and then I look at what she does, and I cannot support her.<br><br>I do agree with your second paragraph in its entirety. Apparently that is not a position politicians in America are allowed to take, and our foreign policy suffers grievously for it.<br><br>Sunil<br><br><blockquote><hr>From: suehovey@moscow.com<br>To: kjajmix1@msn.com; vision2020@moscow.com<br>Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2008 08:01:41 -1000<br>Subject: Re: [Vision2020] tonight's democratic debate<br><br>

<div><font face="Arial">Well the pundits give the debate to him, and seems to
me when one analyzes the answers he is an articulate speaker who is
absolutely unflappable and she is much more knowledgeable on foreign policy and
other issues. She is the more clearly intelligent thinker. I'm still
with her. This morning one comentator says Obama's a great
communicator nearly on a par with Ronald Reagan. I'd like to think we're
searching for more. </font></div>

<div><font face="Arial">In reference to last night's debate and the need not to
offend the Jewish community, I'd like the candidates to discuss the
mid-east conflict from a perspective that when it comes to Israelis and Arabs
both groups have grievances that must be dealt with in fairness and with an
admission that the creation of the state of Israel did in fact displace people
who were living there, the 6 day war did displace even more, and today those
issues are far from settled. </font></div>

<div><br></div><br>Any comments about tonight's debate? I thought Obama
won, unlike the debate two weeks ago. Here's a prediction: When he
gets the nomination, he will pick Bill Richardson for Vice President.
Further prediction: I will do cartwheels in glee. But as much as I
like Richardson -- which is to say, very much -- I would, if I were advising
Barack Obama, recommend that he reach across the aisle, diffuse the monopoly
on military background that McCain has claimed, and choose Nebraska Sen. Chuck
Hagel. He's a fiscal moderate, a social moderate, a staunch opponent of
the war in Iraq, and lends the foreign policy/military service gravitas that
some say Obama lacks. <br><br>Keely<br><br><br>
