Nor am I. Still, I didn’t expect a response. It’s hilarious to boot: “thoughtful words of encouragement” indeed! XD

I was thinking about what “she” responded to you for a while.. I think most Americans think this way. They really believe in it.. but they are not aware of the costs of it.. or if they are they ignore them..
“Secretary Clinton is committed to strengthening America’s national security, advancing the interests of the United States, and restoring America’s leadership position in the world.”
She needs to ad: At any cost.
