However I think he has to show more substance than he has shown and I worry about him being beholden to the two F's that drag down the Democratic party-Fags and Feminism.<BR/><BR/>Thank you though for stating what I believe-Vitory in terms of Iraq has no relevance.

I was originally a Ron Paul supporter in this election but have always thought he never had a chance to gain the Republican nomination. I suppose I would support Obama based on the grounds of youth alone (I’m not quite thirty and can relate more to people of my age then I can to people of McCain’s age). However, I do have a problem with Obama. Like you said, one his foreign policy advisers is Brzezinski. Now, as I’m sure you know, Brezezinksi was the man directly responsible for starting covert CIA support to the Afghanis in order to goad the Soviets into invading the country, which they did and produced what Brezezinksi had wanted all along: the Soviet Vietnam. However, this same support had blowback, as the events of September 11 made clear to everyone.<BR/><BR/>Why should we elect Obama if his main foreign policy adviser was the same man who presided over what could be considered the worst strategic blunder since Vietnam?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for any response. I look forward to reading the novel.
