Tim Kaine seemed like a no-brainer, but Obama is the Jordan on this team. He needs role players. It remains to be seen whether Biden is more like a Luc Longley or a Steve Kerr.

Biden is on the ticket soley to parry McCain's hit point that Obama is a greenhorn on foreign policy and national security. Time will tell whether Biden will be much good in doing that.

Obama's candidacy has generated effective grassroots initiatives in the States and it might well do the same on this side of the Atlantic, which would be a major change in many European states.

Voters trust McCain on the war on terror; Obama needs to show them every day why they shouldn't.

It is a sorrow to hear McCain accusing Obama of dishonoring the sacrifices of American soldiers by calling for their withdrawal from a conflict promoted, as was Vietnam, by deceiving the American people.

Supporting the status quo on Israel is the path of least resistance. It is easy and risk-free. But it only adds to Israel's security problems -- and America's declining strategic position in the Middle East.

During my recent travels to the Middle East, I found that although Obama fairs much better than his rival, early enthusiasm for his candidacy has been replaced by skepticism.

Berlin is girding itself for up to a million spectators. The security cost to the city is closing on $500,000. And some Germans are already preparing not to like what Obama has to say.

No one can possibly justify one more American soldier being killed or one more American bombing raid after 2010. Clearly the Iraqi leaders feel they can govern effectively within two years without the current U.S. occupation.

It isn't just the American people who want us to leave Iraq. Now it's the U.S.-backed Prime Minister of Iraq. That leaves Bush, McCain and the neo cons as the only people still committed to this war.

Obama has talked about new ways of thinking about military power and international relations and has more clearly seen world realities and possibilities for creative ways to deal with those realities.
