>>First, again, McCain is not 'staying the course.' Second, you think our entire foreign policy should change to suit Venezuela, Cuba, and Iran? To me, this looks like a few countries trying to invoke FEAR into the American public to vote into office the candidate of THEIR choice... For that reason alone, I would not vote for Obama.

>No, of course I don't think that. Being the biggest brings with it a certain amount of unpopularity. I am OK with that. What I am not OK with is being so bellicose even our closest allies resent and mistrust us.
