John McCain is launching a new campaign video entitled, ‘Safe’. In it he states that he hates war and loves America. He pledges to keep us safe.

JOHN MCCAIN: Only a fool or a fraud talks tough or romantically about war. When I was five years old, my father left for war. My grandfather came home from war and died the next day. I was shot down over Vietnam and spent five years as a POW. Some of the friends I served with never came home.

I hate war. And I know how terrible its costs are.

I’m running for President to keep the country I love safe.

I’m John McCain and I approve this message.

I find it interesting that in the comments on this video at YouTube are pretty vicious. The general theme seems to be that the commenters are voting for Obama because they hate war. Its interesting that people have such a difficult time understanding even the most basic concept that avoiding conflict creates unavoidable conflict. Voting for Obama will undoubtedly increase our risks in the world as he is viewed as an appeaser and a friend of our enemies. You think not? He, himself, has stated that he will open talks with our enemies.

If you are of military age and plan to vote for Obama, you might want to consider what it means for you to have someone in office who will be perceived as weak by our enemies throughout the world.

We all hate war. In a perfect world there would be no war. This isn’t a perfect world.
