This debate probably told us as much about where the country is as it did about the candidates. Romney’s consistent refusal to expresss hawkish, interventionist views about any of the hot-button issues — from Syria to Iran to Afghanistan — suggested that America really is so weary of war that even the self-advertised “no apology” candidate knew he must temper his views. The country may be divided one many issues, but it’s united in not wanting another war.
...yet he still is witlessly jammed in the machine, proposing to spend money we don't have on ships we don't need, to mind a world that doesn't need our care, to preserve resources for us that we squander with our inefficiency, self-perpetuated by our blind adherence to supply-side economics.
