Clinton: US might have to confront Iran

Democratic presidential candidate and New York Senator Hillary Clinton said Tuesday that it might be necessary for America to confront Iran militarily, addressing that possibility more directly than any of the other presidential candidates who spoke this week to the National Jewish Democratic Council.

There's more:

Still, she said, all avenues should be explored, since "if we do have to take offensive military action against Iran, it would be far better if the rest of the world saw it as a position of last resort, not first resort, because the effect and consequences will be global."

It's the "offensive military action" that makes me sick to my stocmach. "Offensive military action" is an act of aggression, period. And while I know there are plenty of people out there who think this is a viable option for the U.S. government to take, I sill have to believe there are more people out there who believe an act of aggression is just that: an act of aggression.

Make note that a vote for Hillary is a vote for more war.

Read the rest.
