U.S. Elections: View from Afar

This particular article gives the perspective of a university student from a Middle Eastern country. Obviously this student is very concerned with the current presidential situation. After 9/11 the middle east has gone through a lot (to say the least.) The student seems to be less in favor of McCain because of his military experience could rage even more war. If the situation only elevates under McCain then our relationship with the rest of the world could be in great jeopardy. Obama seems more likely to be sensitive to the subject matter, and could potentially pull out of Iraq. I think a big factor to this is not just war, but looking down the long run. What resources are at stake? Oil prices are at an all time high, and with the latest hurricanes in Texas they are likely to increase more. Our economy is in shambles, which new president is going to get us out of this mess?
