Writing this I am at a loss of words, as it’s very sad to see such an upstanding guy like John Edwards leave the presidential race. Edwards has set the bar for the democratic candidates (literally) and continues to crusade for those who don’t have a voice in America, even when being accused of being the limousine liberal he’s not. What I like most about him is that he doesn’t believe in imposing his religious views on anyone else, and is actually willing to compromise his own beliefs in order for the good of the country. Apparently this wasn’t enough for the American people, but hopefully more politicians like Edwards will emerge in the political landscape. In summation, I wish john Edwards and his family the best, and I hope he keeps fighting the good fight.
It’s been over a week since Benazir Bhutto was assassinated, and in that time we’ve seen a nuclear power continue its downward spiral, although in all fairness political instability isn’t anything new to Pakistan. What’s special about this situation is that the potential power vacuum includes the Taliban and Al Qaida, and now Pakistan has weapons of mass destruction. The only hope for Pakistan (and India for that matter) is that the untrustworthy Musharaff (don’t be suprised if it turns out that he’s responsible), Nawaz Sharif, and Asif Ali Zardari.
