That is just a bit naive to think isn't it. I mean saying that sitting down and talking to your enemies who have taken thousands of American lives (and lives from other countries as well) can do nothing but help the situation sounds sanguine to me.... As I said, trying to reason with someone who wants to destroy your country seems hopeless.

I never said that being in the military made McCain a better candidate, or better with N.S for that matter. I think that his policies are more realistic, not just a plan made to appease to all of the people who think that the world is a perfect place and that everything can be solved with diplomatic discussions. I don't know about you, but if someone bombed my country i'd want to find who did it and not sit down and say "Hey man, that really wasn't that nice. Can you not do it again? Pleassssssssse?"
Also, Obama wants us to get out of Iraq ASAP... That would be like taking all of the police force out of an entire country and leaving everyone at eachother's throats.

socialized-medicine:A government-regulated system for providing health care for all by means of subsidies derived from taxation.
Obama plans to provide Health Care plan to "all who need it", rich or poor. To fund this, he adds a tax to those who's annual income is over x dollars. Sooo I guess that plays into the definition pretty well... And I lived in France for 11 years, I can personally say that Socialized medicine is not worth it...
Think of it like this: with a hospital that the government pays for, things would be like going to the DMV; you wait in line for 3 and a half hours to get seen, and when you are in there they rush you along because they have to get everyone done as quickly as possible.
I hope that I answered all of your questions.
