The neocon AXIS OF EVIL speech made Iran a bigger threat. North korea too. With no military oiption for taking out North Korea without costing hundreds of thousands of lives on both sides. Iran some say is the next oil-rich invasion target of the neocons and Texas oil companies. Yet we cannot possibly occupy all of Asia Minor and we'd have almost no allies on such a foolish over-extension of power.

I did not expect Sen. McCain to be this boring. Maybe he is an honest man and hence did not want to deliver a partisan speech. The Republicans are very nervous about their base, at least that is how he is coming across. He just failed to fire me up as he did in 2000. I also see the Republican party exploiting 9/11 by bringing in front of the nation the widows of 9/11. Just a memorial song would have been fine. At least I commend the Republicans for not bringing the widows of those dead in Iraq, at least not so far. And it is very insensitive for the Republican delegates to cheer at the losses of these 9/11 widows. Instead, I would always take the solemnity of the remembrance to these victims that the Democrats had at their convention. I am keeping my fingers crossed on the widows of the Iraqi war. Will Bush bring them up on the stage?
