Unless I missed something in Friday night's "debate", the word "peace" was not mentioned until about the 90th minute of the event (i.e., at the very end). Ironically, it was uttered by the supreme war-monger himself, John McCain. (And, from what I see, Sen. Obama is not far behind on the war-mongering front.)Given that the debate was to focus on U.S. "Foreign Policy", is it not frightening that neither candidate felt it necessary to talk about how we can bring PEACE to this world but, instead, spent most of the time talking about their plans for more, needless "war"?I don't know about you, but I find this to be very, very, very disturbing.BRING OUR TROOPS HOME.
