I like this blog post. Very informative about our history. Since you are talking about the ages of the countries compared to McCain’s age. i wonder what is the oldest country.

Actually you forgot about Liberia in Africa, but yeah, John McCain is much older than probably 80% of the countries in the world. However, so are a lot of other politicians (like many of you mentioned Hillary Clinton). However the biggest issue is with this is that while Hillary may have been too young to even know what a country is or too young to have any opinion on the issues, John McCain was old enough to have an opinion and understand the world. Let’s just hope he doesn’t get into office and start referring to Taiwan as Formosa or India as “The Raj.”

But.. Hillary Clinton is older than Israel too. So now your arguments are loosing ground.

How about Eastern Europe? He’s older than: Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, (Kosovo if you recognise it), Macedonia (or FYROM if you’re Greek), Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, Kazhakstan (Borat’s homeland), and many many more…
But then again, so are most people, and everyone of voting age.

Yeah - he’s older than EVERY country in Africa except Liberia and arguably South Africa, in terms of when they became independent… India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar… etc.

Technically most of the former USSR counts as younger than McCain too. Estonia certainly does!

Israel isn’t a country, it’s a forward base. But only with permission.

Just like McCain isn’t a president, then again neither is bush.

Hmmmer. Things that make ya go, hmmm?
