And he wants to put a bunch of troops in Pakistan. He said he wanted to make it a "battlefield," if I recall correctly. Pull out of Iraq and into Pakistan. I don't care much for the strategy. Pakistan is already doing a lot to fight terrorism, and doing what Obama suggests would jeopardize our alliance with the country and destabilize Pakistan, IMO. Which, considering their nuclear capacity, is something we can ill afford.

Well, the War on Terror is one of the biggest issues for me. Foreign relations. I still see abortion as probably the single biggest moral issue facing America right now, though, and I wouldn't vote for any candidate who supported its legalization unless those were the only options to pick from.

My vote would tend to depend a great deal on candidates' positions on the "hotbutton but much less relevant issues."
