They have changed the very nature of Islamic practice-making it less tolerant-in formerly moderate countries like Pakistan. The recent discovery that a Pakistani ring supplied some of the world's worst governments with nuclear technology only served to emphasize the contradictory nature of our "friendship" with that fragile country. "It's true the Pakistanis have helped us to capture some of the leading al-Qaeda figures," says Jessica Stern of Harvard, a terrorism expert. "But you also have to wonder...

Where Dean's populism can sound hostile, Edwards' is sugarcoated, the mill-town boy who knows what your life is really like because he married his wife with an $11 ring. Speaking to TIME between events, Edwards recalled, "My father always said, 'I can tell if someone is talking down to me in 30 seconds.' Voters can tell that, they can sense it.
