Es ist zwar noch etwas hin bis zum Super Tuesday und den US-Präsidentschaftswahlen 2008. Allerdings würde es mich schon gerne interessieren, was der geneigte User und Anhänger einer republikanischen Präsidentschaftskandidatur von den einzelnen Kandidaten hält.
Ich habe mir gestern ein paar Auszüge aus der TV-Debatte der Republikaner im Internet angeschaut und muss sagen, dass Rommey, Paul und Guiliani auf mich einen ziemlich kompetenten Eindruck gemacht haben. Naja, wer sich ein eigenes Bild über die Kanditaten machen will, kann sich die Debatte auf MSNBC.com (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18573031/from/id/18421356/) anschauen.

Moderator: Mayor Giuliani, on that point?
Giuliani: It really depends on what our intelligence says. I mean, the reality is, the use of military force against Iran would be very dangerous. It would be very provocative. The only thing worse would be Iran being a nuclear power.
It's the worst nightmare of the Cold War; isn't it? The nuclear weapons in the hands of an irrational person, an irrational force.
McCain: Iran is a state sponsor of terrorism. We all know that. Iran continues their efforts to build nuclear weapons. Iran is now exporting lethal IEDs and jihadists and suicide bombers into Iraq, killing American soldiers.
Moderator: Congressman Paul, you voted against the war. Why are all your fellow Republicans up here wrong?
Representative Ron Paul (R-Texas): That's a very good question. And you might ask the question, why are 70 percent of the American people now wanting us out of there, and why did the Republicans do so poorly last year?
So I would suggest that we should look at foreign policy. I'm suggesting very strongly that we should have a foreign policy of non- intervention, the traditional American foreign policy and the Republican foreign policy.
Throughout the 20th century, the Republican Party benefited from a non-interventionist foreign policy. Think of how Eisenhower came in to stop the Korean War. Think of how Nixon was elected to stop the mess in Vietnam.
