War

In 2002, Congress authorized President Bush to invade Iraq without declaring war. Any representative who voted in favor of this measure should have been ejected from office immediately. To attack a nation without just cause has to be among the highest atrocities that can be committed by a government. Thousands upon thousands of human lives have been stamped out because of this obscene abuse of power.

I am vehemently opposed to risking the lives of our soldiers in any military conflict where the United States is not directly threatened. If I had my way, we'd be bringing the troops home tomorrow. No phased withdrawal, no timetable, no nothing. We would just pick up and go- no amount of foreign nation-building, no matter how positive it sounds, is worth the life of any American soldier. We have problems on our own shores more deserving of our attention.
