"Iraq does pose a serious threat to the stability of the Persian Gulf and we should organize an international coalition to eliminate his access to weapons of mass destruction. Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to completely deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power." -- Al Gore, 2002

 Commander in Chief Hillary?

By Jed BabbinThose who worry that a Hillary Clinton presidency would just be the Return of Bill may yet be proved optimists. Judging by her article in Foreign Affairs on October 16 Hillary is determined to bring back the human rights-based failures of Jimmy Carter. In a June 1977 speech, Jimmy Carter said he wanted to make American government “competent and more humane.” Carter celebrated what he called the end of our “…inordinate fear of communism which once led us to embrace any dictator who joined us in that fear.” And - establishing the most ineffective foreign policy since King Canute’s - Carter said, “Our policy must reflect our belief that the world can hope for more than simple survival and our belief that dignity and freedom are fundamental spiritual requirements… we have reaffirmed America's commitment to human rights as a fundamental tenet of our foreign policy.” In her article, Clinton pledges a return to Carterism, writing that, “We must once again make human rights a centerpiece of U.S. foreign policy and a core element of our conception of democracy.” That was Carter’s first of five foreign policy principles. To the other four, Clinton also pledges her allegiance. Carter’s second point was to “reinforce the bonds among democracies.” Channeling Carter, Clinton wants to, “…rebuild our alliances. The problem we face is global; we must therefore be attentive to the values, concerns, and interests of our allies and partners.” Those values, concerns and interests -- such as Europe’s dependence on Iranian oil and the planned arms sales to China delayed so far by Mr. Bush -- will prevent action on Iran before it achieves its nuclear weapons ambitions and endanger every American ally on China’s periphery, including Japan.
