Kad JAV yra pagridinis Izraelio irankis ir vaikui aisku, bet koki vaidmeni vaidina cia Rusija? Rusija tarsi palaiko Irana, tarsi palaiko Sirija ir egipta,,,skleidzia arabu pasauliui apie Amerikos keslus ir t.t. sukuria imidza lyg tai priesinasi Izraelio oligarchams... ir t.t. bet visgi irgi yra Izraelio drauge, jei ne dar vienas irankis. Kas cia per teatras? Kur cia suo pakastas?

Just such hard headed realism is evident in his response to the Israeli conundrum. McCain does not argue that the US has a moral obligation to support Israel. He argues that it is in its self interest to do so because Israel represents, as it always has, an vital American partner:

"I really think that we should understand that the US and Israel are partners. Israel is not a client of the United States. . . .
about Iran:

I think Iran is a threat to the region. . . . (Iranians are) obviously pursuing nuclear weapons . . .. they were also arming and training extremists to send into Iraq, supporting Hizbullah and influencing Syria.
At the end of the day, we can still not afford to have Iran with nuclear weapons.We know they have ambitions that are not just aimed at the State of Israel. . . . (These ambitions include)destabilization of the entire region upon which the United States' national security interests rests.

This is not something he says in Israel for "domestic political" reasons. He says it in his strategic FT article directed at Europe:

Leadership today means something different than it did in the years after the second world war, when Europe and the other democracies were recovering from the devastation of war and the US was the only democratic superpower. Today, there is the powerful collective voice of the EU, India, Japan, Australia, Brazil, South Korea, South Africa, Turkey and Israel, to name just a few of the leading democracies.

Hence, Israel's success is of vital interest to the US. Israel demise would be a devastating blow to America. McCain understands that and it informs his view of Israeli war strategy and tactics. He wants Israeli survival and while he promised the Jordanians to do "whatever is necessary to assist that process so that we can bring about a peaceful settlement," he does not advocate a straggly which would endangering it:

Salia oficialios versijos visada lieka uzkulisine versija.

O McLainas jau siulo alternatyva Jungtinems tautoms:

The NATO alliance has begun to deal with this gap by promoting global partnerships between current members of the alliance and the other great democracies in Asia and elsewhere. We should go further and start bringing democratic peoples and nations from around the world into one common organization, a worldwide League of Democracies. This would not be like the universal-membership and failed League of Nations' of Woodrow Wilson but much more like what Theodore Roosevelt envisioned: like-minded nations working together in the cause of peace. The new League of Democracies would form the core of an international order of peace based on freedom. It could act where the UN fails to act

Our moral standing in the world requires that we respect what are, after all, American principles of justice. Our values will always triumph in any war of ideas, and we can't let failings like prisoner abuse tarnish our image.
