Otto....one last point on the UN and Iraq:
The "US-led coalition" forces are not
UN peacekeeping forces by any official measure or standard. They are occupation forces and over 90% are now US forces.
Putting that aside, I dont believe McCain is senile...I do believe he has a very black/white approach to foreign policy, much like GWB. There is no nuance, no subtilty...just more of the same..
Rattle the sabre.....shoot first....talk later OR how NOT to make friends and NOT influence people.
