“Our choice wasn’t between a benign status quo and the bloodshed of war. It was between war and a graver threat,” he said. “Only the most deluded of us could doubt the necessity of this war.”
Senator John McCain, Republican National Convention 08/30/2004
Ok, that hurts. Nah..just kidding 
While I totally disagree with the notion that I (or for that matter a sizeable chunk of this country’s population, indeed the world) am delusional, I must give credit where it’s due: For once, this nation seems to be talking about “real” issues that this country ought to debating on. So, thank you Senator McCain!
And just for the record, the choices laid down so eloquently in Senator McCain’s speech, in my humble opinion, were not the only choices that the world faced. If what we found in Iraq is any indication, there is not a shred of evidence to show that it would be a choice between “war and a graver threat”. I really don’t get it. Wonder what’s the real difference between “diplomacy” when bandied around in the context of Iran and North Korea vs. Iraq of 2002.
