Who's REALLY afraid of Virginia Wolfe?

In the late 1950's...on my actual day of birth...14 Oct 1957...the Soviet Union launched Sputnik into the outer reaches of our atmosphere. They had also had previously (August, 1949) fully entered the world's nuclear weapons race. Therefore, for the 40-odd years that the Soviet Union was in full throttle as a space, nuclear, and most importantly - hockey - power on the planet, we here in the United States always made sure that our President-elect was the type of person who struck the right amount of fear into the hearts and minds of the Soviet leadership, be that Khrushchev, Gorbachev, or the Iron Chef.

The one thing we had in our favor was the knowledge that the Soviets knew nuclear war was a truly stupid idea, that's why it never occurred. Now, we face a new nemesis: Islamic Extremism and an out-of-control Muslim world-wide birth rate. This is a group that is nowhere near as powerful militarily or politically as the Soviet Union was, but they are 100 times more insidious. And these nimrods are firmly entrenched in this martyrdom nonsense, so a counter-nuclear attack by the western world on their territories and people seems to hold no consequence to them. Which leads to the question:

Now that we have arrived at what appears to be the definitive short list, who strikes fear into the hearts of Bin Laden, Al Zawahiri, and Ahmedinejad?

Senator Clinton
Governor Huckabee
Senator Obama
Senator McCain

These are your choices, and irrespective of party affiliation, our security and survival as a nation depends upon whom you and I ultimately decide is the face that will stare down the bad guys.

So what's it gonna be, buckwheat? Coke or Pepsi?
