I cringe at the thought of a McCain foreign policy. I still believe he would be more of a cowboy in his hawkish diplomacy that even Bush is/was. He doesn't seem to think about anything, it's all 'gut' reactions. That is too dangerous of a stance and strategy (oops there's that word he knows nothing of again)

You can care about both radical Islam and the traditional great power struggle, and both McCain and Obama do. But you can only have one first priority. Obama (rightly, I think) considers the prospect of terrorists acquiring a nuclear weapon the highest potential threat. Thus he places more emphasis on securing Russia's cooperation in locking down fissile material and pressuring Iran to stop its nuclear program, while McCain gives more priority to confronting and isolating Russia. -- read more
The top priority is to stop terrorist from attacking America. Not Russia attacking Georgia. That's important, but not as urgent an issue as Osama Jr. with a Nuke.
