Issue Position: Foreign Policy

Today, our consideration of present US foreign policy choices must begin with the Middle East. And it is imperative that the United States now begin a phased withdrawal from Iraq. Spending U.S. taxpayer dollars is an unwise investment when we should be rebuilding America.

We must promote a peaceful two-state solution where the people of Israel and Palestine can live in peace together as neighbors.

Unilateralism should never be our preferred foreign policy choice. Today, we must attempt to engage other nations, including Iran & Syria, in dialogues. This is not a new idea:

"Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?" ~ A. Lincoln

Giving diplomacy a chance first is our best choice while navigating a multitude of sometimes opposing views. It is best if there is a consistent voice of reason, speaking for peace wherever possible, throughout the world. The great United States of America can, and should, be that voice.
