With Hillary's foreign policy advisor advocating US military injection into Pakistan, it was refreshing to see at least one democratic candidate talking sense in the post aftermath of the Benazir Buhtto assassination. Richardson is now calling for an immediate termination of all military aid to Pakistan. In doing such, he becomes the only other major candidate, along with Ron Paul, to call for such.

Back in the spring, Paul and Richardson were neck and neck with me with respect to my presidential choices. Unfortunately, Richardson veered off into irrelevance with me when he began his obvious vice-presidency campaign to be on the Hillary Clinton ticket. However, Richardson recently has begun to distance himself from that ill-fated strategic association, and he once again becomes my strong preference for the nominee of the Democratic Party.
