An unconvinced commenter:

Honduras? Her contribution to the refugee crisis in Syria? "We came, we saw, he died?"

My thoughts:

  • Honduras: I've heard this said a lot by Sanders supporters uneasy with Hillary during the primaries. We should definitely expand on that.
  • Not sure what they specifically mean as far "2" is concerned, but explaining HRC Syria policy might help
    • The thing to note here is that people are being gassed, shot, and bombed by the regime, and abused, tortured, and executed by ISIS/Nusra & co.
      • Is Hillary a "hawk" because she thinks that some humanitarian crises might be intervened with? No-- that makes her an interventionist. Specifically HRC is the international coalition builder interventionist (I believe the foreign policy term is a multilateralist).
      • HRC is certainly not an isolationist. And she believes in the role of military in foreign policy in addition to diplomacy (as a last resort). But she is not a unilateralist either.
  • This refers to a quote about Gaddafi. I think people are uncomfortable with that specific quote because it comes off as heartless (?). We might allude to the quote though not sure what use it gives. More useful to expand on our Libya topic

Libya concerns handled in #160. Most of this issue I think is still relevant
