Look, politics of Obama v. McCain aside - let me ask you all a question. Why Berlin?
Yes, Kennedy. Yes, Reagan. But that was the Cold War, and Berlin was the microcosm of how the Cold War was pulling the world apart.
We are in a new era - America not longer worries about Communism or the Russians. We worry about 1) Terror and 2) Globalization. My votes for the speech should have been:
1. Middle East (I couldn't pick a country... what do you think?)
2. China or India

I'm not wasting a full post on this, so let me just comment.
1. The speech is supposed to be about US/European relations. So strike Middle East/Asia
2. We do worry about Russia, and we will be worrying about them more in the near future. Chavez is calling for a strategic alliance with Russia against the US. Russia stepped up its arms sales to Venezuela. Russia wants to be a world power again
