from the terror situation. isa is bad and they have to be stopped and the reason they have to be stopped, not only are they in iraq, but they re in syria. one of the most dangerous countries in the world. we have americans and europeans fighting for the bad guys, they re extremists and we have a situation where an american was a suicide bomber and we had another situation like that in france. the problem is they have usa or have european passports so they have the ability to go back and for forth. if they are radicalized they could be dangerous to our country and the citizens we have to protect. are there good targets given that they re terrorists and blend in with the local populati population. i believe number one, there needs to be a coalition. we can t be the sheriff of the whole world. would that coalition include iran? now, you know, i have a concern there. i think iran has exports to terrorism. i wouldn t trust iran at this point, but they do have a close relationship wi
looking for a pluralistic, comprehensive sort of iraq, and so i think at some point in the not too distant future we will see predz predators flying over space. i think that is quite probable. this is a big terrorist problem. at the same time it s not clear to me that any of our air power will be good against the toyotas that these guys with machine guns are driving around with and that we can do much that wouldn t cause more damage that is through civilian casualties and at the end of the day it s not in our interest to address the symptoms which is sectarianism than going after the cure which is a different approach than we ve seen. i ll be frank, i m skeptical that we ll get the new approach out of the current government. very quickly. do you have a final thought?
inconsolable. reporter: clinton took questions from cnn chief international correspondent christiane amanpour at the washington museum promoting her new book hard choices. clinton was asked about immigration reform and the harsh reality. the hororf a father or mother going to work and being picked up and immediately whisked away and children coming home from school to an empty house and nobody can say where their mother or their father, is that is just not who we are as americans. reporter: she addressed the violence in iraq, the u.s. withdrawal from afghanistan and the war in syria, highlighting policyrists between her and president obama. i recommended that we do more in the very beginning to support moderate opposition. reporter: but the buck stops with the president, and the president had very legitimate concerns. reporter: on tumbler one person asked for a more definitive marriage equality answer. my views have changed over
