Peace Corps Part of Edwards Terror Plan

Submitted by Mr. Citizen, Jun 10, 2007 20:03

Mr. Edwards plan would only add to the already bulging government complex. For him to think that an additional 10,000 people would be more effective than the billions of dollers the U.S.A sends to these countries shows his propensity for empty rhetoric. Who would "manage" these people? Other trial lawyers? People who are out of touch with real world application of solutions? People who's solution is always more money and soft compassion? A real solution might be for the United States to force the dictators and despots we support financially to actually use our money for the good of their citizens rather than the arms of their security details. The state of the nations Mr. Edwards proposes to change is not due to lack of American help; rather, it is a direct result of the cruelty and greed of those nations leaders....hello MEXICO.....hello EGYPT....hello ALL OF AFRICA!
