Question: What foreign policy would you adopt toward Africa? Should the U.S. become militarily involved in African ethnic unrest as we have in Yugoslavia?
Submitted from Michelle of Exton, Pennsylvania through washingtonpost.com (10/08/00)
Answer from John Hagelin:
Africa
Our military forces should not be put at risk in situations that they connot control...
...or engage in wars they cannot win. Only a U.S. military presence can prevent widespread bloodshed and loss of innocent lives, only if our mission is clear and our objectives achievable, and only if our presence in the region is requested and if it respects the sovereignty of African nations would I consider deploying U.S. forces.
