Reply #13: What bothers me most is his lack of understanding of foreign policy

[question everything]

".. as chair of a Senate subcommittee on Europe, he has never made an official trip to Western Europe (except a one-day stopover in London in August 2005) or held a single policy hearing. He's never faced off with foreign leaders and has no idea what a delicate sparring match diplomacy in the Middle East can be. And at a time in which the United States has gone from sole superpower to global pariah in a mere seven years, these things matter.

Once we lost Biden, Dodd and Richardson, Clinton is the only one who has traveled the globe, yes, as first lady, met with foreign leaders as well as regular folks, had a chance to study the difference in approaches to life and to what matters most in different cultures.
