A choice between aggressive war mongers or even more aggressive war mongers.
That is the "choice" the U.S. citizens have the "freedom" to choose from in the coming presidential election.
Hillary Clinton is the one that is slightly less aggressive than the Republicans who are always foaming at
the mouth for a new armed conflict somewhere in the world.
But even this "less aggressive" choice wants to go back to killing more people in the mideast thinking it
will somehow lead to a more secure world, especially for the U.S.
I don't know about you but in the 59 years I have been on earth I found that assaulting your neighbors
on a regular basis does not make for a peaceful life. Telling your neighbors you are assaulting them because
you think you know better what is good for them than they do never helps matters either.
This slightly less aggressive choice also wants more support for the playland of rich Jews that Hitler set up prior to
WWII in what the Jews eventually named Israel. And this is supposed to help bring peace to the mideast how?
The glamour of marketing terms such as "freedome of choice" and "Democracy" are losing their luster.
We in the U.S. have no choice but to support our obscenely rich capitalist masters and fight their wars for them.
There is never another choice given to us and we are kept ignorant of better social and economic systems which
are not taught in our schools. We are only taught about how great America is and that capitalism is the only
economic system that works... as long as the most powerful nation in the world keeps beating other systems down.
Maybe China will be able to give us another choice in the U.S. someday. One can only hope.

WASHINGTON - Distancing herself from President Barack Obama's foreign policy, potential 2016 U.S. presidential
candidate Hillary Clinton said that the U.S. decision not to intervene early in the Syrian civil war was a "failure."
Republican critics have faulted Obama for doing too little to support Syrians who rose up against President
Bashar al-Assad. Syria has been torn apart by a civil war for three years, with Assad staying in power and Islamic
militants among the opposition gaining strength.
"The failure to help build up a credible fighting force of the people who were the originators of the protests against
Assad - there were Islamists, there were secularists, there was everything in the middle - the failure to do that left a
big vacuum, which the jihadists have now filled," Clinton said in a recent interview.
Clinton was Obama's secretary of state during his first term as president, stepping down in early 2013, so she was
part of the administration during the start of the Syria uprising. Seen as a possible strong contender for the 2016
U.S. Democratic presidential nomination, she ran unsuccessfully against Obama for the party's nomination in 2008.
Asked about Obama's slogan of "Don’t do stupid stuff" to describe his foreign policy thinking, Clinton said,
"Great nations need organizing principles, and 'Don’t do stupid stuff’ is not an organizing principle."
In the interview, Clinton also offered strong support for Israel and for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has a
tense relationship with Obama.
