My basic feeling about military intervention is that it should be a last resort, undertaken only to stave off large-scale bloodshed.

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.

I believe the main solution is to gain the trust of Europe and America and to remove their concerns over the peaceful nature of our nuclear industry and to assure them that there will never be a diversion to military use.

To the contrary, I believe the U.S. military has already done all that has been asked of them. Saddam Hussein is on trial. The threat from alleged weapons of mass destruction programs in Iraq has been neutralized.

What I object to the current government intervention in so-called 'solving the crisis', they haven't solved anything. They've just postponed it.

Let us wage a moral and political war against war itself, so that we can cut military spending and use that money for human needs.

Wars can be resolved. Human rights atrocities can be stopped. We just have to apply the right policies.

I can not believe that war is the best solution. No one won the last war, and no one will win the next war.

If we have the intent to use the military only when needed, then that also becomes, then, therefore, a credible deterrent.

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.
