This week’s vice presidential debate was interesting to say the least. I was really looking forward to hear what the candidates had to say about their opinions and views on certain topics. When Iran was brought up, I could tell that they both had there own opinions on the matter. When both candidates were asked if Iran or Pakistan was the greater problem, neither of them happened to say Iran. Sarah Palin said Iraq was their main problem, while Senator Biden said that Pakistan was more important than Iran.
Biden mentioned that Pakistan was more of a serious threat than Iran because Pakistan has a huge amount of Al Qaeda members, could be hiding Osama Bin Laden, and harboring terrorist activities. Both candidates did mention about sitting down and talking the Iran’s president and both candidates supported their running mates views. Palin backed up McCain and said there would be no sitting down and talking with president Ahmaddinejad, while Biden agreed with Obama and said that there needs to be some sort of talking going on with Iran. Biden also mentioned that our allies have wanted us to talk with Iran and we should listen to them if we want them to back us up on our decisions. Another interesting point Biden made was, McCain wouldn’t even sit down and meet with the president of Spain. Spain happens to be one of our allied countries too.
So I believe both candidates did well in the debate and I enjoyed hearing their opinions. This was the only debate that the two will have so from now on America will just be hearing from the presidential nominees.

Why would not McCain meet with the president of Spain? Obama also said that in the first debate. McCain did not answer. Do you know the reason?
