McCain Honored for Immigration Reform and Peace Efforts
Irish America Magazine is honoring the "Top 100" Irish-Americans, including Barack Obama, Hillary and Bill Clinton, and John McCain.
McCain gets props for his work on behalf of immigration reform and the Irish peace process. It's odd to think of "Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iran" McCain receiving an award for his part in a peace process, given his predilection for peace through war. This is a guy who's OK with a U.S. military presence in Iraq longer than a geophysical era. Then again, Henry "Dr. Strangelove" Kissinger got the 1973 Nobel Peace Prize after incinerating Vietnam and Cambodia.
But McCain did in fact promote immigration reform and is still urging his fellow Republicans to take a reality-based approach to resolving the issue of illegal immigrants already in the country. The Irish-Americans doing the honors, with roots in a nation of emigrants if there ever was one until recently, when it started importing immigrants, are right to recognize McCain on that score.
I'd like to be there to see the reaction of the Republicans in the crowd. McCain awarded for peace and immigration reform? Johnnie, we hardly knew ye.
