Wants America To Resist Troop Surge In Iraq
(CBS/AP)NEW YORK Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards is calling on Americans to resist President Bush's planned troop escalation in Iraq. His plea echoes one by the Reverend Martin Luther King Junior 40 years ago to end the Vietnam War.
Edwards addressed about 1,200 parishioners today at Riverside Church in New York City. The Manhattan congregation is where King delivered his famous "Beyond Vietnam" speech on April 4, 1967. King was assassinated exactly one year later.
Edwards spoke from the same wooden pulpit King used and was introduced by King's son, Martin Luther King III. The younger King said his father would have admired Edwards' commitment to fighting poverty.
It was a high-profile appearance for Edwards on the home turf of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. The Democratic presidential front-runner has been decidedly more cautious in speaking out against the war and the proposed troop escalation.

"A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself."
Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC)
