I should have used the green text.
It doesn't take a history major to know that our policy of containment we very aggressive.
Latin America, Cuba, Southeast Asia, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq and there are more examples! Given the opportunity to ask a question to McCain or Obama it would be a history question. I'm sure the McCain would likely be able to answer quite a few based on his life long experience. There is no doubt that Obama is intelligent in my mind either - what I want to know is can they compare or contrast what these actions in various instances and how the way we handled them helped or hurt the US. What would he have done differently during the bay of pigs and Cuban missile crisis.
