I try to be very precise in my language. I didn't say Clinton had any sympathy for the Syrian people, I said that (objectively) her POSITION was far more sympathetic. I don't have time to elaborate, so just think about that for a moment. Here's a hint - I would also say that FDR's per Dec. 7th POSITION was more sympathetic to the USSR without at all thinking that he was pro-communist. > It is nauseating to have to state this on a MARXISM list!
