Of course her background influences her views. But so does the background of a Welsh-English Methodist. And both of them support giving aid to Pakistan. But you seem to worry about what might INFLUENCE Abedin but not what might influence Clinton. You think that her views must be investigated because of her foreigness. I made clear that she wasn't an immigrant and only sought to link immigrant-baiting to questioning of 'foreigness'. I am not trashing you--I am disagreeing with you and telling you that you're missing the point and questioning her for things she could not control instead of those she can. It's perfectly legitimate to question her views on Pakistan. It's irrelevant to attempt to ascribe those views to parentage and where she grew up and then use that as a reason to think her views are less legitimate.

Thanks Gren I agree with a lot of what you're saying except the last sentence. When somebody, anybody, is a top US
official everything is on the table. Just my opinion and longtime US tradition such as the scrutiny given to Court nominees.
Her D-bag husbands gotta go, I'd wager over the weekend if he has any sense. He just threw it all away and I doubt
she'll stand by him but who knows.
