Reply #22: Maybe I misunderstood the whole point, here. This isn't a question

of whether or not you agree with Obama regarding his ideas vis a vis Pakistan and all that scary shit, but whether he was right to talk about it. The idea that no politician can broach the subject of any of the really volatile and dangerous aspects of the world and engage in a discussion is what I thought was the point. I am for no aggression at all, period. So I disagree with Obama's ideas, but he wasn't wrong in speaking his mind on the subject - all of the candidates should be encouraged to. I disagree with almost everything Senator Clinton's says (not all, really), but I don't think that there is anything she would be "wrong" in discussing. I disagree less with Edwards, but still he should be applauded for being frank and honest, not castigated for talking about things that should not be discussed...
