Hillary Clinton's Crying Strategy

From the Note "'A Clinton loyalist said internal polling found New Hampshire women were overcome with sympathy when Clinton choked up publicly in a diner Monday under the stress of her expected loss,' the New York Daily News reports. 'Even Obama women were moved by it, the source said. "

If Clinton becomes president I wonder if this crying thing would work on terrorists? Imagine that the CIA determines that Al-Qaeda is about to launch a terrorist attack on the U.S. Perhaps Hillary could respond to the threat by crying in the hopes that her crying would cause Bin Laden to call off the attack because he feels sympathy for Hillary. After all, didn't Margaret Thatcher use crying as a strategy to stop IRA terrorist attacks?
