Stay out of Iran unless Iran attacks us directly

Q: Do you support or oppose the statement, "Stay out of Iran"?

A: Unless Iran attacks us directly, I believe we should stay out of Iran. We would have zero terrorism if we simply stayed out of the business of other countries. That will never happen as long as we allow people to remain in power who have arrogant, controlling, criminal minds.

Wars benefit the wealthy

Every war the US has been involved with has been largely due the big banks that need their coffers replenished regularly. Our most promising and brave young men and women have been killed needlessly in wars since the beginning of the US. I have no desire to get rich off the lost lives of our military men and women. There are countries who never go to war. They are for the most part happy and prosperous. I will not vote to send our young men and women into combat for the benefit of the wealthy.

No foreign aid to Iran to prevent developing nukes

On foreign aid headed to Iran from the United States: I am 100% totally against sending bribe money to Iran to keep them from developing a nuclear weapon. I would consider lifting sanctions which would stand to benefit the people of Iran rather than lining the pockets of their leaders. Financial aid rarely goes to the people of any country. It is kept by the officials of that country to extend their personal wealth and power. Our leaders are not leaders. They are crooks that seem to have no clue as to how to handle foreign relations. Opening trade with Iran would be more beneficial to the Iranians and the American people than sending more money to a country that despises us, no matter the intentions. We owe it to the future of our children and grandchildren to keep American money in America except in very rare circumstances. I don't trust that it will be temporary and will be reversed. Our government has shown us in the past that they rarely if ever, reverse anything. Source: 2014 Senate campaign website www.SharonHansenForUSSenate.org , Nov 20, 2013
