Had either Colin Powell or John McCain been the Republican candidate for President in the last election, I would have voted for him; being ex-military makes a person more likely to understand what it means to commit to a war (and less likely to run headlong into one). Both are thoughtful men who have faced dangerous situations and can make difficult decisions; they do not appear to be locked into one view of the world, but combine flexibility with a strong moral foundation.
