This is a hypothetical question about giving a politician a second chance!

[akbacchus_BC]

What would it take for the American voters or Canadians to accept Mrs. Clinton's apology for voting for the invasion of Iraq? I do not see Bush, Colin Powell or Ms. Rice being hauled over the coals for their collusion in an illegal invasion. Mrs. Clinton has apologised but it does not bring back what the US did to Iraq, invaded a sovereign country that never attacked the US, killed countless people, raped girls and the end result are people who dislike the US, so much so, they do not even care who they kill anymore.

Another thing that baffles me, the powers of the time gave settlement to the Israelis in Palestinian land, yet Palestine is not a state and the minute that UNESCO accepted Palestine for educational purposes, the US and frigging Canada stop their financial support to UNESCO.

Is this what Americans signed up for after 9/11? The answers am looking for is that if anyone came into my home, I will try to protect myself as best as I can. How do you think people feel when another country invade their sovereignty?

I know this is highly political and the powers at DU can feel free to delete it. The world is so full of double standards that you feel so lost when you cannot find answers to simple questions.

Thank you.

2. If Bush, Powell or Rice were a candidate for POTUS you'd see plenty of coal raking here

Were you here when Nancy Pelosi said "impeachment is off the table"? I was and the negative reaction was powerful and swift.

3. You don't?

I do not see Bush, Colin Powell or Ms. Rice being hauled over the coals for their collusion in an illegal invasion.

I've been calling for all of them to get tried for war crimes ever since they started that war of aggression.

I gave Clinton far more benefit of the doubt, and haven't called for her to be tried for war crimes, despite the blood on her hands from that vote.

4. I'd have that selective vision thing checked out.

Unless of course, your entire premise is contrived bullshit.

Then I'd work MUCH harder on my delivery.

5. That's 2 different things.

Accepting an apology is not the same thing as "giving a second chance."

I'll accept her apology when she apologizes as she retires from the public arena.

As far as "2nd chances" go...another chance wouldn't be just the second; it would be one of many.

I can accept her apology and wish her the best without wanting her in public office.

Why would I want to "give her another chance" at public office when there are better options? It's not about her, or her ambitions.
