Dean slaps the UN and the European Union for lack of action in Sudan

Howard Dean takes the international community to task for its lack of response to the crisis in Sudan:

Now is the time for the world community to act if they are serious about encouraging an enlightened leadership role for the United States. My challenge to the U.N. and Europe is simple: if you don't like American diplomacy under George Bush, then do something to show those of us in opposition here in the U.S. that you can behave in such a way that unilateralism is not necessary.

Dean's message is as refreshing now as it was a couple of years ago when he was voicing strong opposition to the Iraq war.
