In the most important Policy Decision of our times, the Iraq War, Hillary Clinton got it WRONG! -- STRIKE ONE!
Earlier this year, Hillary Clinton was the only Democratic candidate who voted for a
resolution sponsored by Senator Leiberman, allowing President Bush to list the Iranian Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist group, which would most likely alienate regular Iranian people and allow Bush to declare war on Iran. -- STRIKE TWO!
Unfortunately, the male leaders in the Middle East are sexist and do not respect the words of a woman or a woman's ability to lead. This is just the clear, cold truth about the matter, wrongly or rightly, that is their way, and culture. When our leader sits down to the table with Arab, Mulsin and Middle Eastern men to iron out difficulties and challenges facing us today, it would be a serious disadvantage if our leader was a woman. And because Hillary Clinton is a woman, she could not effectively have the ear or respect of the men in the middle east at this time to effectively bring about the changes we so necessarily need at this time. -- STRIKE THREE!
Hillary Clinton may have the experience but lacks the wisdom and judgment to be the leader of the United States during this critical time in our history. And as sexist as it sounds to us in the Western World, she is a woman and therefore to the middle eastern men, the wrong sex to be able to sit down at the table with them and gather their respect, as seen by the tragic death of Benazir Bhutto.
