McCain's neo-conservatism

I criticized John McCain a couple of days ago for his disparaging comments about Donald Rumsfeld . . . but here's another angle of attack on McCain's statements. Townhall.com::McCain v. Rumsfeld::By Terence Jeffrey

Here's a key excerpt:
"So back to the question: Should the failure thus far to establish a stable democracy in Iraq be blamed on the management of U.S. troops, or was the concept of using U.S. troops to create an Iraqi democracy flawed?

The fact that not even John McCain is now calling for sending U.S. forces into Pakistan -- a nuclear-armed Islamic country run by a pro-American general who originally took power in a coup -- to shutdown a sanctuary for the leaders of al-Qaida points to an answer.

Sometimes the pursuit of a just cause, no matter how well managed, can cause more problems than it solves."
