Good old John McCain — trying to sound as much like a Democrat as possible

I just read that Sen. McCain, in a foreign policy speech, says America must not use it's "great power to do whatever we want whenever we want," but instead must "listen to the views and respect the collective will of our democratic allies."

Remember back in the "glory days" of the Bush Administration as we ramped up to invade Iraq? Remember the flurry to tackle all those nations of the world out there who were urging us to step back and proceed with caution? Remember when "French fries" not-so-tongue-in-cheek were called "American fries" as a matter of patriotism?

Those were the days when all true patriots (by zealous neo-con standards, at least) knew America not only could rule the world and do exactly what she wanted -- but was pretty much obligated to do that.

People who suggested then that America should show the sort of wisdom and restraint McCain spoke in this speak were labeled unpatriotic at least and liberal Democrats at worst.

Well, good for John McCain -- if he means what he says. What I'm discovering, however, with John McCain, is that he's perfectly eager to tailor his words to fit whichever group he's trying to woo at the moment. Sounds like a politician, doesn't he?
