Perhaps he should leave this site and read up on the history of American foreign policy to avoid further ignominy.

Last time I read, McCain was expressing his support of turning Iraq into another "100 Years War" if necessary... But what if he does win the election? Would Americans opt to move to Canada in order to avoid this potential "100 Years' War?" I heard Canada was ramping up its immigration centers in expectation of another wave of "Blue Staters" in the event of a Republican victory: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/index.asp In the independent film "Blue State," the protagonist does exactly that. He decides to flee the United States after another republican victory in 2004, due to strong liberal ideals: www.bluestate.com McCain Anti-War???

You start with a premise that denies a hypothesis and show that it inevitably leads to a contradiction. Therefore the premise must be false and the hypothesis true. And by doing this you have proved yourself absurd. Let me demonstrate: I assert that the US is guilty of expansionism and imperialism therefore you hypothesize that it means that I don’t believe the US should exist. Since this leads to an absurdity(a world without the US), your hypothesis must be wrong. So you see Tim, it is not my assertion that is wrong but your extrapolation of it that leads to an absurdity and is therefore anathema. :-) Tim,

Yes, you are right. Our whole country was built on lies and has only been a force for evil in the world. We never did anything good whatsoever. We should just call it quits as a nation and the world would be better off. In fact, since most of western civilization was "expansionist" and "imperialist" at some point, they should call it quits too. Just think about it: A world without western nations and their imperialism! A world where there is no United States of America, no Canada, no France, no Britain, no Australia. Heck, what a great world we would have. Stanley Laham writes:

Does he believe in giving people a break in medical costs? Does he think unrestrained Capitalism is a bad idea? Does he want implement at least some kind of limitations on sales of weapons in the US? No, as far as I know. These are basically similar to what the other "major" Republican candidates believe in one form or another. Only his stand on the Illegal War is different. But I am open to being proven wrong. Does he believe in a woman’s choice in abortion? Does he believe in giving people a break in medical costs? Does he think unrestrained Capitalism is a bad idea?
