I've always heard the saying, "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer". While I don't agree with us meeting with terrorists groups, and although Iran's leader talks like one, he is still an officially recognized leader of a soveriegn nation. Constant bullying by the US will only embolden him. There's something to be said by "diplomacy first". Failing that, we can look at more extreme options. However, Bush's policy of "Shoot first, ask questions later" needs to seriously be reconsidered.

I suggest McCain take him up on the offer or his chances in November are nil. The fear-mongering of the past won't cut it this time. The voters are wise to this game and want a positive message. BOTH potential democratic nominees give us this message. People have shown they are hungry for change in this country, not more of the same. I think McCain should begin realizing this or his chances to become the next president will diminish greatly.

McCain wants to follow suit but he denied a generous GI Bill that will help fighting men and women upon their return from the war fronts. No, let us support the soldiers if we are to shorten their lives by creating wars. It is time for peace. Peace, peace and no more war. A man of war is a man of war.

McCain. I've admired him since I was a kid and read about his experience in the P.O.W. camps, and my admiration grew as I saw him stand up to the moronic positions within his own party. I voted for him in the primary because I KNEW he was a better man than his rhetoric had been on the campaign trail. But he has shown such a lack of judgment now, in chasing the support of the ultra conservatives, that I can absolutely not lend him my support in the general election, no matter who the Democratic candidate is. So, onto the dustbin of history John McCain. The world could have been a better place if you were true to your nature. Obama '08 I have lost all respect that I had for Sen. McCain.
