But the USA wasn't at war at the last presidential election. I think that in Y2000 the US population in general was looking for other attributes than the ability to lead a country through the current situation. Hell, half the population of the USA hadn't even heard of Colin Powell pre 9/11.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).
On another level, I saw an interview with someone who appeared to be a deputy or assistant to Colin Powell recently. He came across very very well - a great mix of diplomacy and strength, unwavering commitment and empathy, but I didn't get his name. He was a heavyset man with thinning light coloured hair - does sound like someone anyone can identify?
