In reply to the discussion: Hillary Clinton, the unrepentant hawk [View all]KoKo
(84,711 posts)4. Hillary says she's a huge advocate for Women's Rights in third world countries...
She seems to justify US intervening in countries where Women's Rights are being harmed. Yet the countries we've invaded have less rights for women children and families than before we intervened. Families torn apart by death and destruction of their homes, land and ability to earn a living. Children maimed or killed by cluster bombs and deformed by the depleted uranium in the weapons used in the conflicts. People living in refugee camps for years with no hope of rebuilding their lives...and on and on. But, this is what she seems to think will be positive for Women's Rights in the long run.
