President "Hamas' Worst Nightmare"

by Stacie

Comments like this make me seriously reevaluate McCain's foreign policy credentials. From a policy perspective, what does it mean when the Republican nominee announces that he will be the "worst nightmare" of a foreign political party? Hamas, like it or not (and I'm not thrilled about it) is a legitimate player in the mid east. Since under President McCain, we're going to have a substantial military presence in the region for the duration, how does this approach help anything?

I'm not saying they're going to be our buddies. Far from it, but antagonism of elected governments in the region doesn't exactly send a message of "we're from America and we're here to help." We are there to help, right?

Americans are there to help alright....to help themselves to other peoples' oil and to help Israel to other peoples' land.

"Whoever can speak, speaking now to the whole nation, becomes a power, a branch of government, with inalienable weight in law-making, in all acts of authority. It matters not what rank he has, what revenues or garnitures. The requisite thing is, that he have a tongue which others will listen to; this and nothing more is requisite. The nation is governed by all that has tongue in the nation: Democracy is virtually there."
