Edwards Calls War on Terror a Bumper Sticker

Finally, a major Democratic presidential candidate has publicly called into question the policy of a "Global War on Terror". And that candidate is John Edwards, who, perhaps, has keenly sensed that he must push even farther beyond the general Democratic anti-war stance. This may be a subtle point to those who have seen the Iraq War as a fundamental part of the War on Terror, but not for those (of us) who for years now have thought the War on Terror is nothing more than a War on Drugs or, dareisayit, Cold War for the 21st Century. It's about time some politician stood up to raise this fundamental issue. It will be interesting to see whether the other candidates will attack or adopt Edwards' issue/strategy.
