Rolling Cyber Debate Question for John Hagelin from October 8, 2000
From Web White & Blue (http://www.webwhiteblue.org)
Question:
What foreign policy would you adopt toward Africa? Should the U.S. become militarily involved in African ethnic unrest as we have in Yugoslavia?
Submitted from Michelle of Exton, Pennsylvania through washingtonpost.com
Answer:
Our military forces should not be put at risk in situations that they cannot control, or engage in wars they cannot win. Only if a U.S. military presence can prevent widespread bloodshed and loss of innocent lives, only if our mission is clear and our objectives achievable, only if our presence in the region is requested, and only if our presence respects the sovereignty of African nations would I consider deploying U.S. forces in Africa.
