John Edwards Response

John Edwards Response

“John Edwards believes that the United States should work with our allies to develop a long-term plan to help bring change to the Middle East. This will be a challenging but crucial effort. We cannot achieve peace alone, nor should we expect meaningful change immediately. But the alternative is more of the same, and is no longer an option. Right now, we are alienating the very people who can help America most: the segment of the population who is open to supporting the West. The moderate elements see America's refusal to push for an Arab-Israeli peace and embrace of regional dictatorships as a sign that the United States is anti-Arab and anti-Muslim, and we must work to defeat this impression and achieve peace. By working with our allies, we can develop a long-term plan to help bring change to the Middle East. America must stand with our long-time ally Israel to establish a plan for peace. But, John Edwards also believe moderate elements in Palestine can also play a role in finding a real solution. By working with leaders and groups in Palestine that renounce terrorism and recognize Israel, we can work together toward peace. Last year, John Edwards traveled to Israel and met with both Israeli and Palestinian leaders. This voyage marked my third visit to the region. I have witnessed firsthand the many opportunities to work together toward a resolution. Change will not occur overnight, but through international cooperation, we can work toward the roadmap for success.”
