Edwards stumps for Lebanon crowd

By Kate Farley | May 22, 2007

Jennie Post / The Dartmouth Staff LEBANON -- Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards highlighted his plans to improve America's "bully" reputation in the world, to fight poverty and to reform the national health care system at a town meeting held in Colburn Park Monday night. At the beginning of his remarks to the crowd of approximately 200, Edwards identified what he believes to be the most important issue of the 2008 presidential campaign. "The next elected president must answer this question: How do we re-establish America as a force of good in the world?" Edwards said. Edwards said that he would act to improve America's standing in the eyes of the global community. "I have spent a lot of time overseas recently, and the world thinks we are a bully," Edwards said, arguing that it is now necessary for the United States to redirect its influence from war in Iraq to other areas in order to regain respect around the world. "We are going to have to demonstrate our commitment to humanity, which means that we are going to have to do some unpopular political things," he said. Edwards cited the crisis in Darfur as an example of a tragedy that the United States has ignored. "We see a genocide happening and we do nothing -- what do other countries think?" he asked. Edwards said that, if elected, he would not put United States troops in Sudan, but would instead use America's influence by imposing economic sanctions on the Sudanese government until it accepted the presence of a United Nations security force. Edwards also stressed the need to combat the negative effects of poverty, both in the United States and in the world.
