The French Press Agency traveled to Iraq this week to ask locals what they thought of the president elects. Their response was surprising in that they actually wanted McCain to win. They feel that McCain and his plans for the Middle East promise stability in the region by continuing to offer American support. They fear the rapid pullout plan that Obama has suggested claiming that their army is still far too weak and will cave to the Iranians and Turks once the Americans are gone. They are also worried that when the Iranians get nuclear weapons, Obama will not be able to control them, that they will take over the area.
Many of the people there prefer the republican party, they feel that they are more reliable, better suited for the job. I am not sure if this view is felt anywhere else but of the people they interviewed they seemed to feel that America's job was to spread democracy through the world which they do not feel democrats are suited to do. They also however disagree with the methods we use, although they like that republicans spread democracy they do not like the idea of open war.
