Aspects of the Election

Probably the most obvious issue of the 2008 election that i am most interested about is the war in Iraq and how each candidate is going to approach it. Both Claim to want an end to it, but Obama wants to pull out immediately while McCain suggest somewhat of a slow retreat. I agree more with McCain's approach. We cannot leave Iraq without first making sure its government is stable and making sure the Iraqi Armed Forces are strong enough to stand on their own.
Another issue of the campaign I'm watching is foreign policy. Being that in roughly 3 years i will be a soldier I would like a commander and chief who want go picking fights and will only send troops in when absolutely nessary. Both candidtes are promising better foreign policy and better relations for the world, but i would like to see how they would react to global problems like the conflicts with Iran and North Korea.
