Edwards Trotting Towards Defeat

So now John Edward's national security plan is based on a 10,000 member "civillian peace corp" which he thinks will stop terrorism before it starts.

I'm so sorry to breck, oops, break it to you, Mr. Edwards. Terrorism has already started, even if you don't believe it exists.

Here is part of the article from the "New York Sun"

The plan Mr. Edwards presented yesterday — which he dubbed "A Strategy to Shut Down Terrorists and Stop Terrorism Before It Starts" — calls for a 10,000-person "Marshall Corps" to deal with issues ranging from worldwide poverty and economic development to clean drinking water and micro-lending. He said investing in those areas would shore up weak nations and help ensure that terrorism does not take root there. That, he said, would allow the country to stop potential terrorists before they even join the ranks.

I do believe the United States has been doing that kind of work for YEARS now. This is nothing new and it didn't help.

The problem with the rise in terrorism is that we have failed to address the source of the terrorism. We are dealing with a group of people who are being trained from the womb that it is honorable and glorious to kill and be killed for the sake of a totalitarian religion that suppresses and oppresses its members. Yes, I am talking about radical Islam. We have been so enamored with "multi-culturalism" and accepting all cultures as equal (even though common sense tells us that some cultures are just made to survive and thrive and treat people better than others) that we tolerated human rights abberations by certain cultures. We thought if we just left them alone, they would leave us alone. Bad move, for their culture hates the very civilization we know and love.

And Edwards wants to win them with a big flashy smile, perfect hair, and a little money and clean water??? Ain't gonna happen!!!

And you want to be President???? That ain't gonna happen either.
