lucy2328:

1. Please do not read my post as an endorsement of McCain's candidacy. It was merely a few observations about him.

2. I think we and other Iraqis have killed far too many innocent people in Iraq. We may not, however, have killed enough guilty ones. My personal position on Iraq is that it was an unjustified, grossly under-planned and mismanaged enterprise that will forever be a stain on the USA. We should exit forthwith.

3. McCain's age seems to disturb you, for what reason(s), I don't know.

4. But even the points you raise in your reply lend further credence to my describing him as a "character," which is all I intended to do in my post.

Chill out.
