I believe he is of the mold of Teddy Roosevelt - "Speak softly, but carry a big stick".

I also believe that there is no such thing as a winning war; we all walk away diminished. We care about our losses, but there are some that do not.

I do not believe that President Bush was right in invading Iraq.

I do believe that McCain, having lived the life of a warrior, is in a better position to make that (war) decision. I think he understands the ramifications of such a decision better than any other candidate.

McCain's experience and skills as a Pilot has never been called into question.
Nor has his suffering as a POW.

None of which makes him either an exemplar of anything but courage.
Certainly he is neither statesman nor diplomat.

His sorry record vis-à-vis (others) human rights make him a demagogue and war-monger first class.
