Steven Larrick on War & Peace

Green Senate Challenger

Invasion of Iraq was based on false premises

"We need to scale down the dialog of anger toward the rest of the world. I think that the invasion of Iraq was based on false premises," Larrick declared.

"We have tremendous potential to actually use diplomacy in ways even Ronald Reagan used that we have forgotten now, and the current administration has forgotten," Kleeb said.

"We should never negotiate with rogue nations without preconditions. You squander the prestige and the power of the American presidency when you do that," Johanns said.
