I think her change shows not that she's cowardly now but that protesting from college campuses while you're young and full of misguided idealism isn't as brave as many people think it is. I don't blame her for not getting her head chopped off for actively working against the loons who run Iran. I think she's just finding out how bad life under tyrants really is, just like many young liberals do.

I've seen that before with Mao. Plenty of the people I knew in high school didn't have a problem with him, but the real Chinese people I met in college hated him worse than I did. Same thing with those who sympathized with the Japanese during World War II. Americans often feel guilty about the Pacific theater thanks to how the Japanese provide them with cars, video games, and cell phones today, but when I was in Korea, I found most people there still hate the Japanese, even though they're good people now.

Sorry, can't accept that baby boomer argument that hatred of the us and its people is some idealistic right of passage that results in a better person in the end. That is total BS.

Like the Clintons? No. She and they still hate my country and are my sworn enemy because they are diametrically opposed to everything I believe.

Your forgiving, praising attitude of leftists is one of the major reasons they have attained such power in 30 years. republican BB's are an accessory to people like the Clintons.

There is no doubt.
