BBC View of Last Week's Debate

From The Beeb's North American Correspondent, Mark Mardell, we have this view of last week's Republican Candidates debate.

As a follow-up point on the debate, I would think recent events in Pakistan have shown that Rep Michele Bachmann has a more realistic view of the situation than Rep Ron Paul, although Mr Paul's view might hold if we are thinking of just washing our hands of everything East of the 22nd Meridian (East).
