It would have seemed a normal question or topic half a Century ago. As it stands now, Mike Wallace used duplicitous Ilamo-fascist newspeak to give wildly rabid liberals a weapon to attack Herman Cain.
As for Afghanistan, do some historical investigation and then seriously tell us again you want someone to give a soundbite answer to perhaps the most difficult foreign policy problem that we have faced in our current times.
Herman Cain answered the question the way Ronald Reagan would have answered. He would gather the best people to counsel him and go on to develop a plan from there. Why did you not appreciate that honest answer?
I suggest we let him began gathering his advisers and futher developing program plans in the course of his campaign before expecting him to tell all he knows before his run has even begun.

Right of return most certainly is one of the propaganda catch phrases associated with the Palestinian Arabs. It’s just not a term Jews currently use (Israelis of course use the term “Aliyah” to describe immigration), so maybe you’re right, and that would have still been a snappy comeback to turn it.
Palestinians are the only people with eternal refugee status, even while holding visas, and sometimes citizenship in multiple countries. Also, the Palestinian Papers leaked by AL Jazeera revealed the PA has no expectations they’ll consume the Arab population claiming right of return after they get statehood. Proof of that is the refugee camp in Jordan full of former Gaza Arabs who are being denied the right to return by their own leadership, even though Gaza is in Arab hands.
The man has had over ten years to prepare for his presidential run. Either he hasn't bothered to prepare or he hasn't prepared effectively. No one is asking him to establish a complete policy in a sound byte. We are asking him to show that he's done some preparation before running for president.
