In the debate between John McCain and Barack Obama, I was disappointed that John McCain missed a point he could well have made. Obama said that the US was fighting 2 wars. This is not so; we are fighting 1 war. Fighting in Iraq and on the Afghanistan/Pakistan border is simply 2 fronts of the was against Islamic jihad. This is similar to the WWII situation where the US was fighting in the west against Germany and in the east against Japan, the two foes being allies.
McCain could have pointed out that Obama, thinking of 2 separate wars, was losing track of the fact that the US is warring on 2 fronts of the same war.
