State of North Dakota Archives: on War & Peace


Rick Becker: Stop wasting lives and resources on endless wars

The United States is a nation in debt. We have no right to send the earnings of hard-working Americans overseas in the form of foreign aid--especially to nations hostile to our own.

President Trump had it right--we need to stop letting other countries take advantage of us. We need to stop wasting precious lives and resources on endless wars.

Robert Marquette: We have spent $6T on unlawful & immoral wars in Middle East

No country in the Middle East has attacked the United States. There is no existential threat to our nation but for the ones that Washington has created. Washington's interventionist policies are responsible for Hezbollah, Hamas, Al Q'aeda and ISIS. We have spent $6 trillion waging unlawful and immoral wars in the Middle East on the promise of bringing freedom and democracy to the Arab world.
