What happened to peace candidates? Was I the only one who was disappointed with the indistinguishable center-hawk positions from the third Presidential debate?

My impression is that the Democrats have neutered foreign policy as a talking point for Republicans, but, I don’t think it’s worth the cost. I’m voting for Obama and I’m certainly not disappointed with how him and Clinton have _managed_ our international affairs but I wish I could vote for a dove.
