but I do believe once she is in office she will turn more of a peacemaker. I think much of her hawkish rhetoric was to prove that she as a woman has the cojones to pull the trigger when necessary. Furthermore she knows this country is tired of wars and simply cant afford it. On the other hand if we elect a Republican you can guarantee a WW3 or CrusadesII.
