it wouldn't necessarily be surprising were something to happen because, thanks to the bush administration and to it alone, the united states is in an extremely weak position politically. anyone who thinks about this would reach the same conclusion.
so the surprise is that the mc-cain campaign actually touched this issue, not to mention tried to turn it to some imaginary advantage.
i would like to see mc-cain say **something** to distance himself from the racist horseshit that's been circulating in the context of his campaign concerning muslims in general, arabs in particular. but i'm not holding my breath.
