Hopeful candidates for the 2008 elections include Team Hillbilly ( the Clintons together) and Condi Rice. Any hope for America with either candidate? Domestic issues pale in urgency to the foreign policy catastrophe of Iraq . But on the issue of Iraq both candidates are tied to the foreign policy approach of the present Bush/Cheney administration-pro Israel. Nether will do what it takes to force Israel into a two-state solution. Last month Team Hillbilly was in Israel. They voiced support for the seperation wall and exclusive control of Jerusalem by the Israelis. Both postions are non-starters for peace. The Team did not meet with the Palestinians.
And for those who would pick the ninny Condi, she favors preemptive war and supports regime change in Iran and Syria. Both postions flow from her evangelical roots. Spreading democracy is her " charge to keep" obligation to Jesus. Woe is US. The game of who will be president in 2008 is fixed in favor of candidates who kowtow to Evangelical and Zionist goals.
Powerful lobbies should not have the ability to start and maintain wars. Wars should only be waged through a majority vote through a national referemdum.
