McCain Hates War?

This canard - McCain Hates War - is going to be repeated a lot. So, to push back early, I bring the words/analysis of Matt Yglesias of Atlantic, back from March:

nothing about the fact that John McCain (allegedly) "hates war" should blind us to the fact that McCain loves advocating for the initiation of wars. McCain has a healthy understanding of what war means -- healthier than my own or than George W. Bush's -- but also a radically unsound understanding of how international relations works. To most people, war is horrible but sometimes necessary. To McCain, war is horrible but frequently necessary.

But, read his whole post for the proofs.
