Mostly a reasonable speech, if not very exciting. Unlike some others here, I am glad that Sen. McCain realizes that dealing with larger environmental issues, such as man-made climate changes, are also part of foreign policy.

I also like the fact that he stated outright that the US and China need not be enemies, but rather that the US will insist that China keeps liberalizing.

Is McCain’s foreign policy speech inspirational? Perhaps not, but compared to what was produced by the panoply of Dem. and Rep. candidates that started this race last year, McCain’s views as summarized in this latest speech are probably the most solid and well rounded.
