I'm afraid if she was up to her neck in a lot of that, so was Bernie. The war resolution was important, but it was the ONLY war legislation he didn't go along with.

BTW, I was one of VERY few people I knew who didn't go along with, or enthusiastically endorse, the war. I opposed it completely from 2 days after the announcement on.

I also know damned well that most of the older Bernie folk here at very least went along with the war then. The popular mood on the left was anywhere from go-along to support, and on the right support to major flag-waving nationalism.

The national hypocrisy on this subject, now that involvement in that enormous betrayal of our ideals is...personally embarrassing, is outstanding.
