Hillarys Quandary
The critical question at this juncture is what this portends for Hillary Clintons foreign policy.
Kissinger is mentor and confidante to our presumptive Democratic nominee for president, whose own foreign policyparticularly her liking for regime changemirrors Kissingers more than would be expected of someone claiming the mantle of progressivism.
Clinton referenced differences with Kissinger in her review of World Order, and, on the debate stage, performed a lukewarm distancing from a perpetrator of so many prosecutable crimes.
There is still time for our presumptive nominee to set her administration of foreign policy apart from the packor for the public to demand it with a resounding peace vote for Bernie Sanders in the remaining primaries. The alternative is perpetuation of the liberal international world order as writ most eloquently by Kissinger and perpetuated in Clintons own practice, most openly in regime change in Libya and her heretofore ignored support for the coup in Honduras.
If she declines to pursue a new foreign policy paradigm, Clinton, while not stooping like Trump to the demonization of nearly 25 percent of the worlds population, shows little promise of advancing the progress she claims to embrace.
