Mike Miles on War & Peace

America has lost much world respect due to Iraq

America has lost much of the respect of most of the world. Our invasion of Iraq undermined our foreign policy--our ability to promote our long-term interests and solve critical problems in mutually beneficial ways. I opposed the invasion of Iraq because it was not going to make us more secure and because the Bush administration had not made a strong enough case for the preemptive use of military force.

Preemptive use of force is dangerous

As a student of foreign policy, I strongly believe that a policy of preemptive use of force, which is already being considered for adoption by other countries, is dangerous to the world order of which we are part. I will work hard to revoke the preemptive use of force and remove it from our strategic doctrine. Source: Campaign website, MikeMiles4Senate.com Jun 30, 2004

Opposed Iraq Invasion due to lack of answers

I opposed the invasion of Iraq because the Bush administration had not answered the right questions. Now that we are there, I believe we need to help reconstruct Iraq in a way that fosters stability and gives some form of democracy a chance to take root.
