Issue - Foreign Relations
We are the most powerful country in the world, and we can and must act when our vital national interests, and values, are threatened. September 11th and its aftermath have demonstrated that America cannot ignore events in far-flung places like Afghanistan and Iraq. Our leadership was decisive and will continue to be necessary as the war on terrorism proceeds and we work with the international community to help the Iraqi citizens stabilize their country and establish their government. We cannot, of course, be the “global policeman” responding to every conflict in every part of the world. In cases where our interests are not directly threatened, we should support the efforts of regional powers but not necessarily deploy our forces. America has many tools at our disposal to protect our interests and promote our values: diplomatic, law enforcement, intelligence, and economic. These have been and should continue to be used effectively, with the military option only used as a last resort. But there are times when we must use military power: when our cities are attacked by fanatical terrorists, when military force is necessary to protect our interests, or when a dictator destabilizes a vital region or attacks a neighbor.
Elizabeth Dole
