Prayer Is Not The Answer

How about guaranteeing no war with Iran by not attacking them!?

Republican presidential candidate John McCain said Tuesday he prays every night the United States doesn't go to war with Iran, and he blamed Russia and China for standing in the way of a diplomatic solution.

"I don't think it's inevitable that we're in a conflict with Iran," McCain said in an interview with The Associated Press. "But I certainly see it as one scenario that could, and I emphasize could, take place if we are not effective" in persuading Iran to drop its nuclear ambitions or in enlisting reluctant nations to back punitive sanctions, McCain said.

"There's a whole lot of things we can do before we seriously consider the military option," he emphasized. But he added: "I still say there's only one thing worse than military action against Iran and that is a nuclear-armed Iran."

The Arizona senator talked at length — and in detail — about everything from climate change to Social Security to Democrats serving in his White House if he's elected. But much of his hour long interview with AP reporters and editors was devoted to foreign policy.

"I keep praying every night that we will avoid a conflict with Iran," he said.

He's praying every night ... Puleese!
