This woman is an idiot, and some people think she should be President and "Commander in Chief"? Really?

We should empathize with our enemies. That's the best way to negotiate with or to fight them. By understanding what they want, by understanding how they are willing to achieve their goals, and by figuring out how to fight them to achieve our goals. Empathy is a pathway to knowledge. And knowledge is never a bad thing.

The idiocy is thinking you're gonna go all around the world converting people to your way of thinking without having a friggin' clue of what they think.

Inasmuch as she assumed the Fox-watching segment of the population would know the difference between empathize and sympathize, which appears to have been idiotically optimistic.

And are you really that close to the bottom of the barrel already?

I don't really disagree but the problem is, the idea is coming from someone that I'm not sure knows how a paper bag works. She just recites what people tell her to say.

Afghanistan nor Iraq did a thing to us. Do I understand why segments in both those countries want to now that we attacked them? I sure do.
