I would not plan to base my campaign primarily on opposition to the war in the Persian Gulf.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In July of 2004, I came out strongly against the war with Iraq because it was going to destabilize the Middle East.
You cannot simultaneously prevent and prepare for war.
It was not in our interest to enter Iraq in the first place.
I am convinced that military action will not prevent further acts of international terrorism against the United States.
I am not antigovernment. I would not run a campaign against government.
We would not have our politics distracted and embittered by the dissensions of other lands.
I would have voted 'no' on the Iraq war and 'yes' to Afghanistan.
The Iraq war was not necessary.
I don't go around trying to stir up foreign wars.
I will not campaign for any party.
