The tragedy of this approach is that it comes from a man who served his country in uniform and risked his life on behalf of the U.S. McCain would have been a natural choice to lead a campaign for restoration of American sovereignty in foreign affairs. He could have been "The American President Americans have been waiting for."

McCain and John Kerry are all VIETNAM-WAR heros. They bravely fight north vietname comunists and civilian Vietnamese as well. US 's invasion to Vietname leaves so many poor orphans there. now that tragedy goes on in Iraq. Millions of civilian people became the victims of 911 events. The revenge against Islam wolrd is performed by Bush with the highly biased western media's help.

It's very interesting that George W Bush use his father 's influence escaping Vietname war, when he step up to the president position, He initiate 2 war against Islam world,and prepare the third war against Iran. Islam extremists is carrying out Jihard (holy war) against western world , at the same time Bush carry out his religious war also. I don't think the word "CRUSADE" is a slip-of-tongue from Bush. It reflect Republican conservative 's world view and strategy.

"...true conservatism as a political force will be finished in the U.S. "

This affirmation is totally absurd. Conservatism exists in US for hundreds of years. It is not unique to US, In Europe Conservatism also has its soils. It prevails when a country is in trouble(like economic crisis , racist conflicts).

Western world still admire those Conservatism advocators like Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, They embrace cruel dictators like General Augusto Pinochet to reward his anti-communist "achievements". Republican Conservative people are the bulwark of the united states. They know what US need most and can do anything immoral to achieve that goal. Western world is experiencing an financial crisis, the deteriorating economic situation will make Conservatism a new style. I don't understand when western world find its imminent enemies ,why conservatism should be give up. Does Nanne Zwagerman hint us that Republican conservative hardliners have fidelity problem and can not keep his hawkish words?

I don't think Nanne Zwagerman's points stand a reason. His arbitrary conclusion reminds me Francis Fukuyama's renowned work [The End of History],The Japanese-American scholar draw inspiration from the success of cold war and allege:"... All the people will embrace western world values(democracy,freedom,liberty... ), with the development of democracy and freedom the history of all the country will evlove in one and only one orbit.Then there will be no war at all"(be loyal to Fukuyama's points not his very expression)

Francis Fukuyama made a lot of research and provided with so many facts to prove his points. Although his allegation proved to be wrong, but his spirits and attitude of seeking truth from facts is highly appreciated by me . Nanne Zwagerman seems good at dishing out illogical points instead of sentific research.
