If I were Edwards (5)

While the energies and money of both Clinton and Obama are presently used to outdo each other, Edwards could outsmart them by paying more attention to our Foreign Affairs. So many fiascoes by the Cheney-Bush regime, and all Republican presidential candidates (except Ron Paul), still support the White House.

Edwards has a great opportunity to attack all of them, and in the same time, gain some credibility at the international level. We all know, but 30% of the population and Fox News, that we have lost the friendship and respect from most of the Latin American countries. Only a market of 500 million people. Not important.

Forget the Middle-East. It will take a few generations, if, we ever recover. In Asia, they do not listen to us anymore. Now, we are losing ground in Europe, at various levels. We have seen that Poland and Czech are not interested in harbouring a US Missile-Base Program, and do not buy our propaganda against Iran, Iraq, and the war on terror.

Another example: the director of the Russian Academy of Science's Space Research Institute, Lev Zeleny, has just announced that Russian and European scientists were preparing several crafts for an expedition to Jupiter and its moon Europa. The project, he said, is being called Laplace. Its main goal will be the exploration of Europa, which has liquid water on it, under a layer of ice kilometers deep.

Several months ago, we have mentioned that American companies and entities will be facing tougher competition for getting contracts abroad. In addition, the declining value of our dollar will accelerate the use of the Euro as the future main currency. OPEC is already working for such a change. China has already started.

The ultimatums, insults and threats by an irresponsible White House, and their sycophants, only succeed to isolate us with the real world. Meanwhile, China, Russia, and Chavez build strategic alliances. Time for Edwards to denounce such a disastrous path. Our children will pay a heavy price....in addition to the alarming deficits. Thanks to a spineless Congress.
