Mr. Conason has written an informative, strongly argued opinion piece in which he argues John McCain's recent statements concerning the Russian/Georgian conflict show he is not ready for the responsibilities of the presidency despite his falsely alleged superiority over Obama in foreign affairs. Conason ignores McCain's Shi/Sunni confusion, his critically false belief that Iraq and Pakistan share a border, the devastating implications of a president who angrily and falsely claims Iran is training Al-Qaeda terrorists; instead he focuses on McCain's Georgian remarks derived from Wikipedia (that would have devastated any Democrat's presidential campaign) and his quote that Georgia was "one of the world's first nations to adopt Christianity as an official religion." Not only has traditional American foreign policy never stated nation preference because it adopted any religion as "official," due to our Constitution's separation of church and state, but saying so feeds the radical Islamists' belief that the U.S.A. is on some bloody Christian crusade to wipe all Muslims off the face of the earth. McCain's statements provide a great recruitment tool for enemy terrorists. Conason also argues McCain favors "bellicose grandstanding over strategic thinking" and fails to understand how our American-initiated wars have weakened American prestige and power in the world. Hopefully, articles like this one will prod other mainstream journalists into serious investigative reporting concerning McCain's competence as a world leader.
