I say McCain. In my opinion, anyone that thinks we can just disengage our activities in the Middle East is just bitter that we're there in the first place. YES, it has become a silly war. Wasn't that way to begin with, but it became that. On one hand, though, it's one that we can drastically reduce the importance of over the next few years, but we do have to stay there. Thoughts?
There're definite issues when someone like me, a guy from England who doesn't REALLY care for politics, knows more about your country's political disposition than you do.
1) It was never a war. You've never seen war, junior. I've never seen war. When you see tanks rolling through your "hood" and killing people you know and love, come back here (If you still have the luxury of being alive and having a house), and then claim this is a war.
2) It was entirely unjust. Afghanistan attacks the U.S.A., and the American government invaded and plundered an entirely different country to kill a man that not only posed zero threat to America (As they later admitted), but was once being SUPPLIED with the weapons they claim he had, by George Bush Sr. The got rid of Saddam at the cost of...far too much.
3) If you are one of those Americans that feel an unjust, ******ed and baseless foreign massacre (Which is what it was) is the only issue that rides on who becomes president, then do yourself a favour and get some research done. If you weren't so concerned about electing a guy that will clean up shit in Iraq that you shouldn't have dumped there anyway, you'd realise that your own country has enough problems in itself, and you should elect someone who will best deal with those.
That is entirely the problem with how pathetic some American voters or "political" debaters have become. Everything is about "the war". Nothing is about "Let's pick someone who can, like the job description says, run OUR COUNTRY in a way that doesn't arrive at the point of it being the most hated nation on Earth.".
