2018 House MI elections: on War & Peace


Brenda Jones: Diplomacy is basis of foreign policy; war is last resort

Diplomacy must be the starting point for every relationship with a foreign country. Economic sanctions are important to tip the scales of any nation's policies toward democracy and human rights. War is a last resort for only the most extreme of cases.

Elissa Slotkin: Since Iraq war, Congress has failed to update the 2001 AUMF

"Unfortunately, since the Iraq war, we've seen little action on the part of our elected representatives to truly demand that authority, and to seek to update the authorization of military force (AUMF). Our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines serving in combat zones today are still largely operating under the 2001 AUMF, aimed at al-Qaeda, because our Congress has backed away from their responsibilities.
