Joe Miller on War & Peace

Focus on Afghan terrorism, not on nation-building

Q: Do you support United States military action in Afghanistan?

A: Yes.

Q: Do you support increasing military assistance for Afghanistan?

A: Yes; increased military and economic aid to Afghanistan must be hand in hand with a change in policy that is focused exclusively on effectuating US national interests (eliminating terroristic threats) rather than nation building.

Q: Should the US continue to strike suspected terrorist targets in Pakistan?

A: Yes.

Keep forces in Iraq like we have in South Korea

Q: Do you support the withdrawal of United States troops from Iraq?

A: No. We should keep a troop presence in Iraq similar in size to that in South Korea as counterbalance to Iran.

Q: Do you support increasing sanctions on Iran if it continues to defy UN mandates?

A: Yes.
