An impressive group of foreign policy experts from past Republican Administrations is endorsing John McCain for President. They explain at NRO:
Notwithstanding these challenges, however, there is scope for advancing prosperity for all through the careful exploitation of science and human creativity under enlightened leadership. Whether our country is capable of orchestrating our pursuit of such a course depends fundamentally on who leads us in the years ahead. Never before has there been such a premium on experience and proven leadership. For that reason and in sober consideration of what in our judgment it takes to govern the United States: the ability to parse problems correctly, to bring sound analysis to bear, to define viable strategies, to integrate resources, engage allies, and move decisively to lead our country to viable lasting solutions, we have concluded that Senator John McCain is the most qualified candidate to become our next president. We strongly endorse the candidacy of Senator McCain and as a matter of deep personal conviction, call upon all Americans to join us in that judgment.
