I am beginning to like John McCain more and more. Why? For one, he ticks off the far right. That's fine with me. I am conservative, but I am not a whack job far right extreme conservative.

The other reason he is gaining my favor is that he is not afraid to talk war. He recently declared that there may be more wars. I agree and I like that he will put it out there.

If there is one thing our ememies need to hear is that the US is not afraid to mix it up. We can't ignore the extreme element in the world. They are not ignoring the West. We did that for far too long before 9/11 and see what happened. Note: without provocation.

We need a president who will stand up and let the world know that we have a strong military and we will use it if we have to. I don't see this as bullying. I see this as protecting and defending. I don't want a President who will pull out our troops from around the world and become an isolationist. That stance makes the US look weak and the extremists know it.

Extremists can't be dealt with negotiation. All they know is violence, plain and simple. The US peaceniks don't get that. We are dealing with an element that will require force to supress or eliminate. Americans (largely) have lived in peace and freedom for so long, that we can't understand why an extremist would want to harm us. Well.... they do. And I applaud McCain for recognizing it and keeping his hand on the pistol.

McCain understands war and knows what it is like to be in the 2nd worst possible position as a casualty of war (pow, the other would KIA). I trust his ability as Commander-in-Chief.
