McCain needs to tap into that desire for change by doing something really dramatic that provides people with a whole new, fresh outlook to politics. I suggest that he strip all his clothes off and campaign in the nude from now on. His slogan could be, "I have nothing to hide."

As for Iraq, here's what I would suggest.

1. A gradual withdrawal of all American forces over a period of 2 years. Simultaneous training of the new Iraqi army and security forces.

2. The American (and coalition) forces to be replaced in an orderly fashion with a multinational peacekeeping force provided by the U.N., and staffed with troops only from countries that took no part in the "Coalition of the Willing" that fought the Iraq War.

3. Iraqi forces to be trained in the 2-year interim to take over the duties of securing order in their country.

4. Complete handover of all military authority to the new Iraqi forces at the conclusion of the 2-year period. Removal of all foreign troops at that time. Dismantling of all US military bases in Iraq...or their handover to Iraqi forces.

5. Full war reparations to be paid to Iraq by the USA and the UK, commensurate with the damage that has been done to Iraq by Mr Bush's illegal war...as dictated by the World Court in negotiation with the new Iraqi government.

6. Iraq's oil industry to be totally under control of Iraqis, and to be freely allowed to sell their oil internationally in whatever currency they desire. (meaning most likely: the Euro)

7. An international war crimes trial at the World Court of those political leaders responsible for launching the Iraq War? Naw....that would be too much to hope for!
