I now oppose actions in Iraq and Afghanistan but at the time of the initial advances into those countries had a “wait-and-see” attitude to find out if they were going to do it right. They didn’t do it right. Had it been done right then the “Islamic uprising” would already be dead as well as all of the participants.

I absolutely agree with you. They didn't do it right - and I noticed that it took an "election year" for them to conduct the "surge" strategy, which they should have been doing all along.

I have no stomach for this country to stay in a Vietnam-like situation that we could have won a long time ago. In other words, I don't want us staying in Iraq for "a hundred years". I am coming around to a different point of view than I've had in the past. I fail to see where our interference in other countries has worked out that well for us.

I'm not promoting an isolationist view, I'm strongly for us maintaining a very strong military defense - but I think we need to do a lot more to protect our border & I KNOW that John McCain will not do this.

I voted for a liberal Republican twice when I voted for George W. Bush - I can see now that it just got us a more liberal candidate now. It has to stop somewhere. It has got to stop now, before it's too late. I honestly cannot say that I think McCain is actually the lesser of the evils - I think he is just as evil as the others. I really, really do.
