Ah ok, I don't defend that. I am not a Hillary apologist, I don't support U.S. colonialism. I simply think Republicans are worse for the well being of people that live in the U.S. than Democrats are. All else being equal, I prefer the party not actively trying to erase my existence. And I think organizing to make real change is less risky under Democrats (conservatives) than Republicans (fascists).

When it comes to international relations, I don't believe morality, cruelty, etc are really part of the calculation. It's all about power.

I told you to look up Saddam's cause of death and Hillary's commentary on it for a reason. They weren't there for the sake of satisfying their personal cruelty, but that sure didn't stop them.

Virtually no policy is motivated by personal cruelty, foreign or domestic, all of it is about power. Rarely, a politician has a genuine personal bone to pick with someone they legislate against (see McCain vs Vietnam, I suppose), but generally these things should be analyzed on the level of material interests.
