Just heard round table interview which included a pro-McCain talking head on BBC Radio 4's Today Program. The pundit claimed that John McCain will have a more pacifist foreign policy, which could even include dialogue with Syria and Iran, and a less interventionist stance on foreign crises (is this the same man who proclaimed he would have the United States in Iraq for... 10 000 years?). That may be what he is claiming now, and really the capitalist interests are what determine foreign policy under any White House administration, but in this specific case that is exactly what George W. Bush campaigned for in 2000. He was meant to be the anti-(Bill) Clinton, a real hands-off, let's mind our own business kind of politician, he wouldn't be sending forces all around the world to try and quell this dispute or take down that regime. And then September 11th happened. So one has to ask themselves, what will be McCains's September 11th, or will he even need one? (P.S. Can anybody tell me the proper punctuation for the previous sentence, it's a statement about a question which ends in a question, so is it a period or question mark? Thankyou)
