Another consideration is foreign policy. For
example, does a candidate support economic sanctions which
cause the death of some 5000 children per month, as is
the case in Iraq according to the American Physicians
Taskforce. <br><br>Numbers like that are why I could not
bring myself to vote for the status quo. It's hard to
worry about a greater vs. lesser evil for myself when
either is such a gargantuan evil for others.<br><br>(My
understanding is that both candidates are planning to continue
the sanctions (unlike Nader). Of course, since they
both completely dodged foreign policy issues
throughout the campaign, I'm not entirely sure.)
