(2,412 posts)I just can't vote for her because of her warmongering. Of course she knew that there were no WMD in Iraq. She voted for the Iraq War to keep her position as senator to the Upper West Side of New York. When I remember that a million people died there, I am sickened. My brother in law died in Vietnam for a lie so we know what a great hole is left behind when dear ones die. My daughter will never have her uncle and I am left with a very small family.
Some of our family grew up in the Middle East so those people over there are real to me. They are worthy of respect and love, and deserving of peaceful lives. Back in the day before we invaded their world, in Syria and Iraq, which were no human rights paradises, people were eating, they had health care and intact cultures and beautiful historic cities and they were mostly okay.
The rulers of our country, including Hillary Clinton as Sect'y of State and in the senate, have treated these people like an ant colony to destroy for pipelines, for oil, for power and greed.
Hillary Clinton conspired with the head of Google to find Syrian rebels and fund and encourage them. Now we have a disastrous civil war, 275 dead there and the greatest refugee crisis since WWII.
When I look in the mirror to face myself and when I think about my personal integrity, when I have to face my God, and when I wake up in the night thinking of all this evil, I know that I cannot vote for Hillary Clinton and encourage these tragedies. So she will not get my vote. And since you don't want any more criticism of your wonderful presumptive candidate, I will not be posting on DU anymore.
