Foreign PolicyBy Patrick Lee McHargueCandidate for United States Representative; District 19 | |
This information is provided by the candidate |
We must return to a non-interventionalist foreign policyRepublicans and Democrats alike think your child should be cannon fodder in their plans to police the world. They have created the greatest national offense in history - capable of annihilating any country, bullying small nations into accepting agreements fashioned by our President, and imposing on other countries "human rights" that don't exist in this country. Libertarians do not want your children to fight or die in a foreign war. Libertarians do not want terrorists targeting your city in order to gain revenge on a meddling U.S. government. Libertarians want to sharply reduce our national offense and establish a strong national defense - one that doesn't depend upon intimidation or threats. Libertarians want to restore the foreign policy of Washington and Jefferson - a foreign policy that wishes good will toward people everywhere and is a threat to no other country. This does not mean that Libertarians are not able to react to a credible threat to this country. If this country is threatened by a any group, then we will act to defend ourselves. |
