Mark McBride on Foreign Policy

Independent Senate challenger

Not our role to install democracy around the world

We should not be boastful throughout the world with ultimatums, "You are either with us or you are against us." We must refrain from dictating our beliefs to the entire world community. Democracy alone does not make a successful country. It is folly to believe that only the democratic elections in Iraq will solve centuries-old debates. US foreign policy must not be about installing democracy around the world. American foreign policy should be to protect the security of the US and its allies. PERIOD.
