give peace a chance

Noisy rhetoric aside, John McCain may not be eager to widen the conflict in the Persian Gulf to Iran, but a Republican administration would inevitably surround the President with voices arguing for a hard stance, voices that would be difficult to ignore.

Scrappy as they both are, neither Senator Clinton nor Senator Obama is likely to jump recklessly into an attack on Iran, especially considering that a Democratic administration would inevitably surround the President with cooler heads.

Obviously, if you'd like to see the war widened and prolonged indefinitely, you have a better chance of getting what you want if John McCain is in the White House, and you should vote accordingly.

If on the other hand you want to see something approximating peace and stability replace the current situation, well, you figure it out.
