I think we need to look for any opening we can to avoid a war and we shouldn't pass up any opportunity for resolution.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The failure to dissect the cause of war leaves us open for the next installment.
War, in our country, ought never to be resorted to but when it is clearly justifiable and necessary; so much so as not to require the aid of logic to convince our understanding nor the ardour of eloquence to inflame our passions. There are many reasons why this country should never resort to it but for causes the most urgent and necessary.
War can be avoided, and it ought to be avoided. I want no war.
We want to support our troops because they didn't make the decision to go there... but I don't think it should be open-ended. We ought to have a benchmark where the administration has to come back and give us a report.
Going to war is a serious matter. And it should be done very carefully and deliberately with clear national interests at stake before the United States or our Commander-in-Chief acts.
We are not seeking... and looking for war with any nations. We are seeking peace and stability among all the nations in the region.
It is an unfortunate fact that we can secure peace only by preparing for war.
I am certain that we need a solution completely separate from military intervention.
We have to go in places no body would ever think of going into were it not for the necessities of war.
There is no avoiding war; it can only be postponed to the advantage of others.
