According to Edwards, "perhaps the Greatest Short-Term Threat to World Peace' is...Israel:

    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.


Really? Israel is the biggest threat?

    Not Ahmedinijad?

    Not al-Qaeda?

    Not a coup attempt in Pakistan?

    Not a complete breakdown in Iraq?


Wow. Edwards must be taking diplomacy lessons from Jimmy "too many Jews" Carter.
