Senator John McCain drives like he lives: fast and always with his own two hands on the wheel, which is rare for a politician of his standing. But then again everything about the Arizona Republican sets him apart from his colleagues. He survived five and a half years in a North Vietnamese prison, three plane crashes, a bout with cancer, his own political scandal and a run for the presidency.

Often accused of being a thorn in his own party's side, he is one of the most outspoken critics of the administration's handling of the war in Iraq and the prison abuse scandal. Yet despite mounting casualties among Americans and Iraqis, McCain says it's vital to stay the course, at least for now. So what will it take to win the war on Iraq, and some straight talk on why courage matters.
