Misam Abidi on War & Peace

Stay out of foreign wars

A: Strongly Support. America must defend itself and honor legitimate commitments, but our young people must never become pieces on a geopolitical chessboard. We should reject open-ended wars, regime-change campaigns, and nation-building efforts that consume lives and resources without making Americans safer. Military action should require a clearly identified threat, congressional authorization except in a true emergency, a defined objective, public accountability, and a realistic exit strategy. Supporting peace does not mean accepting weakness; it means understanding the terrible human cost of war before asking another family to bear it.
