Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said that America is still committed to traditional alliances and values, despite doubts that have emerged due to the "actions and statements of our president."

I’m thinking it has something to do with wanting to please his father. It is a sort of “East of Eden” concept that John Steinbeck developed in his novel.
