Is it déja-vu? Were we saying this about Obama back in January 2009?

If by war criminal you mean the president will make use of the State Department or military to implement policies which result in the deaths of human beings, I'm afraid you won't be able to vote for anyone. We're always at war, 24/7, and our acts on the international stage kill people. I believe we should minimize war and killing. For that matter, I think we totally botched Iraq beginning back in 1979 when Saddam Hussein took power and started his war with Iran. But it's unrealistic to think we will give ground on our geopolitical position regardless of the dirty games involved. Nor will we send troops to be cannon fodder in local conflicts where we have no national security interest. The moral purists would very quickly turn the USA into the tributary of another state, say China, were they able to exercise any real influence. Then the Chinese would drive big cars and live in big houses while we rode bikes, lived in cold-water tenements, and struggled to learn Chinese for business.
