Reject the notion of war as a foreign policy option. Events since the tragedy of 9/11 show the cost of pursuing flawed foreign policy through military means in Iraq and Afghanistan. Urge our legislators to have a national debate on the proper role of war as an instrument of foreign policy.
Why is this important?
For too long, our politicians have ignored the question of what is the role of war in a humane and democratic society. There is a distinct lack of a rational and moral consciousness among our political leaders regarding this question. I believe this is the time for such a national dialogue, while our nation, it seems, is being prepared for yet another war.
