if you go to the prison in hanoi where john mccain was held for five and a half years, you understand the capacity in the man's heart for the concepts of redemption and forgiveness, that he along with john kerry were instrumental about bringing peace between the united states and vietnam, that he was able to bridge the divide so that a generation would be able to live in peace with each other, americans and vietnamese. it's just extraordinary the capacity for love, for forgiveness that i think is central and core to john mccain. he was a tough guy. you talk about service in the military but when we think about -- and certainly through a christian perspective -- the ideas of suffering and redemption, he suffered immense physical pain, torture for many years, the torture of isolation. in the end he wasn't angry about it. he was fortified by it. anything that ever happened to him in a political campaign in the rough and tumble was by any measure dim inmuscle against what his experiences were in prison, his experiences of dealing with the effects of that in prison, his wounds, his physica
