How ignorant can one be? The war in Europe was over. With Japan? No. An invasion of mainland Japan would have cost millions of lives, both civilian and military.

Hillary more liberal than Carter? Are you for real? Carter was always more of a public servant as opposed to politician. Look at his work after the presidency. He hasn't spent all his time taking sleazy money from criminals to speak and stroke their egos.

Hillary is more of a classic republican then she ever was a democrat. Like it or not.
