As Hillary Clinton looks set to become the next US president, it should never be forgotten (or forgiven) that she voted for the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, and that 9/11, which Saddam Hussein had absolutely nothing to do with, was uppermost in her thinking at the time:
"I am honored to represent nearly 9 million New Yorkers... I come to this decision [to authorize the use of the USAF against Iraq] from the perspective of a Senator from New York who has seen all too closely the consequences of last year's terrorist attacks on our nation. In balancing the risks of action vs inaction, I think New Yorkers who have gone through the fires of hell may be more attuned to the risk of not acting. I know I am. So it is with conviction that I support this resolution." (Senate, 10/10/02)
Have a nice (US election) day...
