My basic feeling about military intervention is that it should be a last resort, undertaken only to stave off large-scale bloodshed.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am certain that we need a solution completely separate from military intervention.
If there is one lesson for U.S. foreign policy from the past 10 years, it is surely that military intervention can seem simple but is in fact a complex affair with the potential for unintended consequences.
If you militarise a situation, you beg for an armed response.
I'm not sure Americans are hesitant to do this again - to fight another war, because it looked to them like a courageous and terrific endeavor.
Sacrificing American soldiers or innocent civilians in an unprecedented preemptive attack on a separate sovereign nation may well prove itself a most temporary medicine.
I think it's appropriate for the international community in situations like this to intervene in Kosovo. I am in favor of an intervention. On some level, you have to say that at least somebody is doing something.
It is inhuman to continue a war which could easily be ended.
The issue of assault in the military is something that they've gone to great lengths to try to deal with - and have not entirely dealt with yet.
Of course, it's imperative that we stabilize Iraq and quickly reduce our armed role there.
You should never take military intervention off the table. When you do so, you give an out to a rogue nation or rogue actors.
