I've been reading through the many, many - far too many - articles for and against Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State. I've been reading through the Friedmans and the Broders and the Dowds and the Ignatiuses and all the less famous (but frequently more thoughtful) writers. I've read until my eyes burn, and it all comes down to this:

For: Those hoping Clinton will be independent enough to save the U.S. from a too-naïve Obama foreign policy.

Marginal subgroup: Those thinking Obama can actually control Clinton.

Against: Those apprehensive about an independent Clinton ruining the chance for a “changed” foreign policy.

Marginal subgroup: Those still suspecting Clinton is really a radical dove.

The rest, as the sages used to say, is commentary.

Why have all the postings (most quite knowledgeable and insightful ) responding to this blog been removed? BTW, those who related to others, such as John Kerry or Bill Richardson were also relating to an earlier JPost story about the various candidates for Secretary of State, not merely gossip about Hillary, pro or con. Those who choose to broaden a debate at a fundamental level should not be censored - if I wanted to participate in an online poll, i would find one that asked: "Should Hillary be SoS, Yes or No?" "Click here".

Mike Feldman, Canada: Tom. In response to Rafael, you mentioned your familiarity with the leaflets, but I guess you didn't read what he said about water and food deliveries. I can see where you think if Hamas takes to hiding in civilians structures, the IDF should be obliged to wait outside until they come out and avoid property damage at all cost. It seems to me that the brave Hamas sought the protection the Geneva Conventions provides to cililians by acting as if they were civilians and hiding among civilians. You want the IDF to be responsible to the wreckless endangerment of the Gazans perpetrated by Hamas. Like Hilary RodHAM its not kosher.
Dan J USA: Tom..US 68...I heard you are trying to get a hearing on the bombing of the following cities we USA military did in WW2...Munich, Dresden, Frankfort, Berlin, Tokyo, Nagasaki, Hirsohima. Was killing all those civilians necessary to win that war. Oh well, I suppose that if a nation is attacked they should expect to be hit back ! Israel, by bashers like you is not allowed that priviledge! Aren't we in the USA fighting those same guys in Iraq and Afghanistan...By the way Tommy ole bean does the US military send out "warnings to the Taliban before attacking them. They do have e mail.
