SEN. OBAMA: Testimony to you, Jim.


MR. LEHRER: Well, I don't know about that.
But the bad news is that all my little five-minute things have
run over. So anyhow, we'll adjust as we get there. But the amount of
time is even.
New, new, new lead question and it goes two minutes to you,
Senator McCain.
What is your reading of the threat from Iran right
now to the security of the United States?


SEN. MCCAIN: My reading of the threat from Iran is that if Iran
acquires nuclear weapons, it's an existential threat to the state of
Israel. And it is a threat to the region, because the other countries
in the region will feel a compelling requirement to acquire nuclear
weapons as well.



Now, we cannot allow a second Holocaust. Let's just make that
very clear. But I have proposed for a long time -- and I've had
conversation with foreign leaders about -- forming a league of
democracies.
Let's be clear and let's have some straight talk: the Russians
are preventing significant action in the United Nations Security
Council. I have proposed a league of democracies, a group of people
-- a group of countries that share common interests, common values,
common ideals. And they also control a lot of the world's economic
power. We could impose significant, meaningful, painful sanctions on
the Iranians that I think could have a beneficial effect.
The Iranians have a lousy government, so therefore their economy
is lousy even though they have significant oil revenues. So I am
convinced that together we can, with the French, with the British,
with the Germans and other countries -- democracies aro
