This article is worth a read because Senator McCain is speaking to one of the most prestigious international world leaders conferences that meets around the globe regularly. His comments are also important because he is the Chairman of the Senate Armed Forces Committee and a major figure in the Republican Party. However I think his comments reflect how many, many Americans feel--don't count us out. Americans have been thru many, many crisis and difficult periods in our democracy. Senator McCain talks about this and how we are an optimistic people and how not only have we been a world leader in the past but we will continue to be a world leader -- a nation of innovators, patriots and believers in democracy, truth and courage. Read it. You will be using your time wisely.
