>> .to suggest that obama is an evil man is stupid.

I've made no such suggestion and in a previous post I have specifically said I do NOT believe he is evil.

Jimmy Carter was not "evil". But he was a train wreck for the country. He ran on a platform of nuclear non-proliferation, yet, during his four years in office, the problem got far worse.

Only after Reagan, who was branded a warmonger, took office, did nuclear proliferation come to a halt then turn around. And only then because he realized that you cannot be weak when you deal with foreign powers. In fact, he had to delay significant action for two years while he put in place a program of military improvements before beginning to deal in earnest with the Soviets.

We now see, today, evidence of the same kind with Bush. He doesn't get credit for it, but Bush has turned Libya around. And today, instead of an enemy, we see the beginnings of a more rational relationship. The same is true of Iraq.

So, it isn't about "evil" or not evil -- neither McCain nor Obama is "evil". It is about capability. Experience. Know-how. I don't know why this is so hard to understand for some people.
