No Probabilities

I would not vote for someone who would do nothing to stop someone from killing thousands to millions when he had good reason to believe that person had that capability and he was ignoring UN sanctions and resolutions designed to eliminate it. Waiting on absolute proof and foreign consensus is what made Clinton's responses to both Saddam and Al-queida weak and inneffective. I don't believe a majority of Americans will approve of such an approach again.

If you fail to act to prevent a disaster when you have the power to stop it you are in part responsible for letting it happen. If you elect such a person you also share the responsibility. I believe the war on terror could be faught better, but not by a return to Clinton/Carter style hand wringing.

Mark
