Well Joe Biden it is then. 

Of course, the McCain camp immediatley attacked, indicating that Biden had dennounced Obama previously.

Let's not pretend that us voters are not aware that politicians play politics. These guys don't love each other. They are not best friends. That's why partners are veted. If they already loved each other, there would be a faster situation.

Let's also not pretend that that McCain will have any different a situation.

Biden was picked for foriegn policy, because McCain is supposedly experienced in foriegn policy. I'll give him that - he has experience. That does not mean he is good at it. If he were, he wouldn't have declared last year that "we won the cold war". What??!!

Even if we think we won, because the Russian people chose democracy (which by the way, looks an awful lot like the same Oligarchy that was in control before), an experienced statesman that was thinking soundly would not announce that. I'm sure if that statement was posed to Putin, he wouldn't be in agreement.

The cold war, like every war since WWII, was senseless. There were no winners. There were losers. The people of the Soviet Union and the people of the United States lost money and worry about each other. They lost a relationship. They lost because these politicians and warmongers could not come to the realization that progress can be defined on how we work together - or sometimes peaceful competition - but not through hate. Although hate driven work will seem like progress to some in the end - the more advanced missles we build, the more advanced we will need to build again. Let's not do that again (a not so subtle warning that we're crossing the line in our relationship with Russia once again).

So when it comes to the fundemental question of foriegn policy, the question is once again reduced to non ideal choices - not a question so much of who will do more - what is needed is cleary visible, but who will do less - to hurt the presently tentative situation in the world. We cannot afford another bumbling, incompetent leader, like we have in Bush. We cannot afford a war monger. We cannot afford someone who cannot reconcile themseves to that fact that nobody wins in war.
