Alan's Positions

WORLD PEACE, U.S. DIPLOMACY AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

I will support legislation protecting US interests throughout the world.

Every human life is precious.  The global community should not tolerate governments that commit genocide or sponsor terrorism.  Moreover, the global community must engage in kindness and generosity towards those nations that are in need i.e., where ever disasters occur or famine exists, the global community must step in and help these nations.

Moreover, as a global community, we must take strong steps to end wars on this planet.  Global stability and peace is a prerequisite for global progress including economic growth and preservation and enhancement of our way of life.  If we expect to have a more peaceful world, we need to

·         Formulate a consistent global vision

·         Engage in earnest consensus-building and humble dialogue with our allies

·         Work to enable the United Nations to be an effective and legitimate voice for global equity and world peace

·         Seek out dialogue and a negotiated peace whenever possible

·         Use military action as a last resort and, if possible, never be unilateral.  Rather, we should undertaken military action when globally-endorsed and with legitimate global engagement when all else fails.

Lastly, as a global community, we must take significant and decisive diplomatic steps to disable the illegal drug trafficking infrastructure throughout the world.
