Ok gorkay. I appreciate your position about Irak war, for sure if they did not want us to say "NO", they did not have to ask us. Then, i also can understand that Irak war takes a lot of place in US debates, there are a lot of soldiers there, and, according to what i can hear in medias, it does not seem to be a honeymoon for US army there.

But, is there nothing on Iran? Russia? Venezuela? China? future of NATO? future of UNO? else? common positions on some these subjects?

As far as I can tell, the Dems and Republicans pretty much agree on China and Russia despite the fact that Republicans are often considerably more bellicose in their rhetoric towards these powers. Also, counterintuitive as it may seem, the Chinese leadership actually prefers to have Republicans in power, because they have supported free trade much more consistently than the Democrats have, and China feels that it benefits from free trade with developed countries.

With regard to Venezuela, some of the leftist elements in the Democratic party might still have some sympathy for Hugo Chavez, but his over-the-top rhetoric is seen as off-putting by many, and both parties condemn his government quite forcefully now. His speech at the UN where he compared Bush to the devil was criticized by both parties.

Democrats tend to be a lot more pro-UN than Republicans.

Both parties, except for some isolationist republicans and leftist fringe democrats, support remaining in NATO.
