Thank you, those are useful development objectives, and I hope he doesn't allow it to end there. I hope JE also takes his commitment to economic opportunity beyond the domestic sphere and extends it to countries which have barely set foot on the bottom ring of the ladder. That will require the same sense of justice, extended manyfold.

But I'm particularly concerned at his vision of America's future political relationships. How will an Edwards Presidency address the fundamental issues in the Middle East? How will he conduct US relationships with allies who may see the world from a different viewpoint? What role will he play in the UN and its agencies in restoring international legality and security for all, not just the US and its allies?
