So you would vote for someone who voted to invade Iraq?

But not for someone who wants to keep the Confederate flag over cemeteries?

The Confederate flag is a greater injustice than the Iraq War?

I would vote for Clinton but not Webb, either. Webb seems scarily hawkish when it comes to the Far East, and a war there would be x1,000 worse than Iraq.

Obama, Clinton, and Webb all essentially have the same stance on the Far East.

No, they don't. Webb has been a lot more aggressive on confronting China. Neither of the other two have compared the PRC to 1930s Japan. Webb seems to have a fetish against China.

One also has to compare their differing positions-Obama and Clinton have/had national leadership positions, causing them to be far more guarded in their language. As I've said, what Webb, Clinton, and Obama would do are the same-namely continue the "pivot to Asia" strategy of increasing military American military presence there, strengthen economic ties with or without TPP, continue to use strong diplomatic language against China, etc. The quotes from Webb in your link support this-he has the stance of the typical American internationalist, not Curtis LeMay.

Yes he's so racist against East Asians that his wife is Vietnamese.

That's a valid point, although that at best puts him on an equal level with Clinton in terms of responsibility for Iraq.

LOL. What a wonderful world you live in.

Considering your basis for claiming Webb was racist against East Asians was essentially that he was hawkish against China, what sort of evidence would you want? How is this any different from True Leftists claiming Hillary hates brown people because she voted for Iraq, is pro-Israel etc.?
