Even Sun Tzu said you must know your enemy and yourself.
If HRC were advocating “emphasizing” with your enemy, in order to be able to exploit his weaknesses to kill or defeat him; then I’d say she’s exactly right.
However, knowing “ourselves” (i.e. Western democracies, and especially the leftist elites therein) makes me very dubious. Empathy soon morphs into sympathy — and the next thing you know, we’re in full retreat, with brief pauses to go down on bended knee to beg forgiveness. Those terrorists are depraved, because they’re deprived, dontcha know.
Hillary wrote her senior thesis on Saul Alinsky not Sun Tzu.
