McCain's New International Democracy

I like where McCain is going with this. It appears he is more driven by the principle of Democracy and less on America's role as the lone "Superpower".

I agree with him that the world will be better off by creating an international unity among the democratic nations who have, TOGETHER, a vested interest in securing freedom throughout the world. Think how great it would be if the world democratic powers took on their role in helping build Iraq and Afghanistan and if the USA didn't feel the need to go save the world on their own.

Anyways, great article.

clipped from www.weeklystandard.com JOHN MCCAIN'S FIRST MAJOR foreign policy speech as the presumed Republican nominee for president, delivered last week in Los Angeles, was widely viewed as an effort to distance himself from President George W. Bush. The Washington Post said his agenda "contrasts sharply" with the "go-it-alone approach" of the Bush administration. London's Telegraph discerned a "more practical, less ideological approach" to the war on terror. Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh accused McCain of rejecting America's superpower status and "pandering to the hate-America crowd." New York Times columnist David Brooks claimed that unlike Bush, McCain wants to "protect the fabric of the international system."
