Senator Barack Obama is starting to divulge his views on foreign policy. See here. One is left wondering whether he would have allowed Saddam Hussein to remain in power.

Addendum: Here is a story about two “shadow candidates”: Al Gore and Fred Thompson. Wouldn’t it be something if these two former senators from Tennessee faced off for the presidency? My friend David, a native Tennessean, would die of pride—which is not to say that he would be indifferent between the candidates. He adores Gore.

Addendum 2: I just learned that Thompson majored in philosophy and political science as an undergraduate. A man for my heart! Gore began as an English major and ended up with a degree in government.

Addendum 3: I changed “Tennesseean” to “Tennessean” on the advice of Bryan Garner.
