To begin with, the next President of the US, whether he likes it or not, has to deal decisively with the reality that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are far from over. Obviously, McCain is particularly well qualified to do this. What can the American people and the rest of the world expect from a McCain Administration? McCain has made it very clear that he hates to lose a war. We can trust him to back his word with action. McCain is determined not only to ensure the security of the US, its allies , and all freedom-loving nations but also to sit at the negotiating table and look for non-violent methods of ending the war.
McCain has a lot of experience; Obama's experience is limited.
McCain is overflowing with moral courage; Obama lacks moral courage.
McCain's character has been thoroughly tested and defined; Obama's character is as yet undefined or better still shrouded in mystery.
McCain is honest, unpretentious; Obama is too astute and does not inspire trust.
As president, McCain can always call a summit of the brightest American economists to help him fix the US economy. The way he belittles McCain about the economy,Obama might be too proud to resort to such an option.
McCain's love of country/patriotism has been tested to the limit; Obama's is as yet purely rhetorical and has to undergo a severe test to be believable.
The American people have this last chance to elect a hero like McCain as president; Obama is still young, inexperienced. The American people can afford to let him wait for a maximum of 8 years.
An ailing economy can always be cured; a wrong decision on security matters that could bring about more 9/11's would be catastrophic not only for the US but also for its friends and allies.
We, freedom-loving peoples, do not want wars; but for as long as enduring global peace has not been secured, the US, as our leader, should stay alert. After all the victims of 9/11 were not only Americans.
A McCain presidency means alertness, readiness, and determination to defend democracy, our way of life.
