Multilateral Like Bush

Only a press corps so enamored with McCain could imagine that one of the staunchest supporters of the Iraq War would be capable of breaking with the current administration's unilateral adventurism. Despite his conciliatory rhetoric, McCain's hawkish views, and his long history of castigating allies who do not agree with him, leave little reason to believe that when it comes to restoring America's image, credibility, and alliances, he would be much different than George W. Bush. A brief look at these four crucial policy areas explains why.

Interesting article. The New Republic is not exactly a liberal think tank. McCain's "insult your allies" approach is a strong contrast with Obama's "talk to your enemies" approach to foreign policy.
Personally, I'm not as concerned about a President McCain with an "itchy" trigger finger on the button as I am with a quick-tempered McCain going off half-cocked on the wrong foreign leader.
