Time article

How obviously out-of-touch and impractical are McCain’s plans on foreign policy? Even the right-leaning Time magazine couldn’t gloss over reality enough to be positive.
Summed up in this quote: “that's the point: McCain would place a higher priority on finding new enemies than on cultivating new friends”
Now imagine how the article would sound if Time were completely neutral – or even left-leaning?
In a specific implementation of neocon foreign policy, how is this for helping?
In Iraq, two rowers, two sprinters, one archer, one weightlifter and one judo competitor qualified to compete in the Beijing Olympics. They’ve been banned from the Olympics, however, because the US-backed Iraqi government manned their national Olympic committee with political appointees, in violation of Olympic rules.
I thought we were supposed to be helping the Iraqi people. Wouldn’t having Iraqi athletes competing in the Olympics be a good thing? The current leadership seems to disagree.
