Idly surfing on Sunday morning while enjoying my morning coffee, I came across this interview with General Petraeus. I was impressed with him before and doubly so now. If anyone exemplifies the ideal of an American to me, this is the man. A future President?

Here's the transcript of that interview (starts lower down the page). I'd like to provide a link to a video but there isn't one of the complete interview - only edited highlights (available on the same page) which, when covering just one issue of several, don't illustrate the true measure of the man quite as well, unless you take the time to look at all of them.
