Joe Biden Wants John Edwards
To Stop Acting Like Howard Dean
Before the last presidential election, John Edwards voted to authorize the use of force in Iraq, then spent most of the actual campaign parrying attacks from antiwar outsider Howard Dean. This time around, Mr. Edwards has slipped into the role of perpetually incensed antiwar crusader, questioning the commitment of his competitors to the liberal ideals he has so unapologetically embraced......here

Dean's Speech
He Wants To Remind Us
That people like Martin Luther King Jr. was a human being who had good days and bad days and had to fight and stay active for a long time period, noting it was 13 years between the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the passage of the Civil Rights Act, and some people died along the way.

In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends...... Martin Luther King, Jr.
