Edwards: Israel the real threat to Middle East peace
Yesterday’s rundown of the Democratic candidates didn’t look much at foreign policy. That’s a subject for a different post. But John Edwards keeps showing that as bad as his healthcare plan is, he’s better off talking about new taxes for health insurance than trying to wrap his bubble head around foreign policy. Speaking in Hollywood, Edwards says that Israel is the real threat to Middle East peace.
The aggressively photogenic John Edwards was cruising along, detailing his litany of liberal causes last week until, during question time, he invoked the “I” word — Israel. Perhaps the greatest short-term threat to world peace, Edwards remarked, was the possibility that Israel would bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities. As a chill descended on the gathering, the Edwards event was brought to a polite close.
Ah. So the problem is not giving nuclear weapons to the homicidal cult leader in Iran, the one who declared his intention to destroy another nation. The real problem is the threatened country trying to get rid of the nuclear weapons. Got it.
Aggressively photogenic is about right.
