[Peace-discuss] A view from the UK

[E. Wayne Johnson]

strange enough.

If only it were true that Palin would even mildly isolationist...say 
non-interventionalist, I would recommend a vote for her and
a hope for McCain's speedy departure.  But sadly, I see Palin as 
anything but isolationist, I perceive  her as the ultimate neocon
incarnate, a sort of global Janet Reno with spikes and tentacles.
