Issue Position: Foreign Affairs

Issue Position

Bombing people creates enemies. That's great for defense contractors. After all, the more people we bomb, the more bombs we have to buy from them. The unneeded, enemy-creating wars we currently pursue are basically bailouts for defense contractors. After all, if we don't go to war, they will lose revenue.

But war is bad for just about everyone else, so I oppose all wars except defensive wars.

As for foreign aid, I believe it should be voluntary, as much of our aid to Haiti and other countries has been in the past. While it's moral to encourage people to donate to other countries, it is absolutely unacceptable to coerce people to donate to other countries.
