Mark McBride on War & Peace

Independent Senate challenger


Error in Iraq was not enough troops

The errors of Iraq, where the military brass asked for 400,000 troops and was sent less than half, cannot happen again.

The US cannot be the world's police force. We cannot right every wrong and punish every act of aggression that does not prove a national security risk to the US. Nor remove every tyrant or despot and replace him or her with democratic elections. We are not the protector of a new world order. We are the protector of American sovereignty. Lead by example, not by imposition.
