The facts are nauseating, but it really clears up a lot for me a lot of the 'why's.' I honestly think Hillary Clinton sees Bill's Presidency as such an amazing success and they've done so well financially, personally, since ... mostly because of name recognition, that she just can't imagine U.S. foreign policy being run any other way. We saw it with Libya. She doesn't see intervening in sovereign nations, lying and manipulating to do it, and causing all that suffering as a problem at all, so much that she can even laugh when talking about it. Her attitude towards Syria, Iran, and now even Russia ... she's so fucking scary to me. How many kids and innocents have their policies and actions combined already harmed? No regret, nothing.
