I am somehow dubious about a "league of Democracies"--a sort of "United Nations-that-we like". And I am more dubious about his concept of God creating the US as a political tool: " President Harry Truman once said of America, "God has created us and brought us to our present position of power and strength for some great purpose." In his time, that purpose was to contain Communism and build the structures of peace and prosperity that could provide safe passage through the Cold War. "

Certainly McCain's rhetoric is easier on the brain than Bush's. But that's setting the bar pretty low.
