[Excerpt]
Sen. John McCain says he "absolutely" wants to be president - but hasn't yet decided if he'll run in 2008.
In a wide-ranging interview in the June edition of Men's Journal magazine, the Arizona Republican also reveals:
As president, McCain said, his foreign policy would greatly mirror President Bush's: "I believe we have a unique opportunity, particularly now, to spread democracy and freedom throughout the world."
He continued that domestically, "one thing is to expand opportunities for national service - the Peace Corps and AmeriCorps, neighborhood and community organizations. You see, I think after 9/11 we had a golden opportunity to call all Americans to serve the country - not just to tell them to take a trip and go shopping. And I think they would have responded. I think they will still respond."
