Foreign Policy: McCain Aims High but Misses the Mark
Fareed Zakaria, Newsweek | May 8, 2008
John McCain's recent neoconservative foreign policy proposals are of questionable merit. ++ Reorganizing the G8 to the exclusion of Russia and China, will effectively render the organization irrelevant. ++ A League of Democracies on the other hand will impede cooperation with key nondemocratic strategic allies in areas such as terrorism and proliferation. ++ These propositions also put McCain at odds with the realist strand of the Republican foreign policy establishment, and will lead to infighting and incoherence.
