Foreign Policy and Terrorism
Wayne Dunlap's vision for America is to be respected around the world as a beacon of opportunity and freedom. He believes that America should be strong to defend attack from aboard. He also condemns the use of terrorism.We can do more to create peace and democracy in this world by being a living example of a peaceful prosperous country -- much more than invading other nations to bring them peace and democracy.
America must be fully engaged in the world economy but we should not interfere in the affairs of other nations. Having this as our foreign policy would enable us to maintain a strong vigilant defense while significantly reducing our military spending. We can start by bringing an end to the War in Iraq. Other reductions can be made in the wealthy nations of Western Europe where 100,000 American troops are stationed. They surely can afford to take responsibility for their own defense.
American foreign policy should emphasize swift, decisive, and winning action against those who would harm us. There is no guarantee that evil will not strike again. A foreign policy that limits our intervention in quarrels of other nations will reduce the chance that terrorists will target America. We must take our campaign directly to the terrorists and domestic 'sleeper cells'.
Rapidly changing our position about other countries in the world will not develop long-term stable relationships. For example, the United States assisted Saddam Hussein when he attacked Iran who held our captives and then he became evil subject to preemptive invasion when he threatened our oil interests – all within a few years.
A rational and consistent foreign policy with a targeted campaign against terrorists, combined with an independent energy program, will go a long way to solving terrorist threats to our citizens.
