Tulsi Gabbard, U.S. Representative from Hawaii, is running for president. She's one of the only Democrats in the race who says anything meaningful or interesting about foreign policy. Unlike the rest of them, she's decided to make it the center of her campaign.

Gabbard was for Iraq War II before she was against it, serving two tours overseas during the war, one at Balad air base north of Baghdad and another in Kuwait. But she has done the very best thing she could do with that experience, and that is to use it to cover her right flank from hawks' criticism about "weakness" while demanding retrenchment in the name of her colleagues in the Hawaii National Guard, where she is still an active duty major, and other U.S. military personnel.
