GOP Debate

[Banquo's Ghost]

Didn't see the debate, but what's the deal with the preemptive nuke strike against Iran?

Is this guy just spinning it, or did most of them (not Paul, he's looking better and better) say they would not rule out glassing Iran to prevent them from getting nukes. !?

As an outsider, I have picked up from US posters that the primary race is always about appealing to the base. It may even go over well with some other sectors of the electorate, but not I think, with most Amercians (other than a kind of conceptual acknowledgment of strength and power).

One assumes this kind of language appeals since most candidates adopted the stance, but should one of them actually become president they will find the real world less accomodating.
