Edwards Joins the Club

No matter how hard you try, the truth is sometimes hard to suppress.

There are other emerging fissures, as well. 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.

This is essentially a factual statement. Notice the term "short-term."

The only other country that is a greater threat to "short-term" world peace is the United States. That is just the way it is. Deal with it.
