Well, he hasn't threatened to nuke Iran or been filmed singing 'Bomb, bomb, Iran...' So that has to count in his favour compared to the other contenders.

But he has been consistently pro-Israel with no hint that he might put be willing to try to push for more Carter-ish diplomacy in the ME.

My guess is he'll be too busy dealing with Iraq and domestic issues to spend much time on the ME.

Besides - don't we already have Blair for that?

Is Phony Tony still doing ME stuff?  I thought he was off praising Jesus at Yale or something.

Tony is a veritable dynamo of multi-tasking political genius. He would have found it no problem to save the middle East from the Muslims, turn Europe into a vassal state of the Vatican and preach to the next generation at assorted prestigious world universities.

If only we hadn't destroyed his plans with our pesky petition.

Still, he was able to screw Brown, so I'm guessing it's not a total loss.

Somehow the argument

Vote Obama!  He's not completely ga-ga crackers!

doesn't comfort.

My guess is he'll be too busy dealing with Iraq and domestic issues to spend much time on the ME.

Maybe.  There's a strong message, being pushed by all the campaigns, that the 'World is waiting for US leadership.'
