I know this is a Canuck thread, but... since the Yanks are also picking a new leader soon... maybe we could broaden the discussion? Well, tell me what you think.

Should a new thread be opened to discuss the next Yankee Pres? To wit...

Today, a snippet....

Rumsfeld said... "The Iranian regime is today the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism," he said. "The world does not want, and must work together to avoid, a nuclear Iran."

Despite Rumsfeld's call for diplomacy, McCain said military action could not be ruled out if diplomatic efforts fail to stop Iran from developing a nuclear bomb.

"Every option must remain on the table," McCain told the security conference after Rumsfeld spoke. "There's only one thing worse than military action, that is a nuclear-armed Iran."

"The Arizona Republican later added that military action is "totally undesirable" and could be considered only after all other options were exhausted."

Looks clear to me.
