War and Peace
Jill Stein wants an end to the wars and drone attacks, and in addition stop U.S. support and arms sales to human rights abusers, she also wants global nuclear disarmament. (www.Jill2016.com) When it comes to places such as Iraq Jill believes we should be out of Iraq, however we still are not (www.Ontheissues.org) Jill stated:
“We never should have been in Iraq. We have spent perhaps $1 trillion, lost nearly 5,000 American lives, and probably 100,000 or perhaps one million Iraqi lives. It's an unspeakable shame that this war occurred at all. A war caused by lies and military opportunism A war that has conveniently secured some oil supplies for the US and the West but what a horrible price that has been paid for that illegitimate bounty.” (www.Ontheissues.org)
Jill’s feelings of troops being in Iraq are the same as them being in Afghanistan. Jill believes “You don't solve problems, you don't promote international stability and democracy by bringing in the army and the bombs. That does not create national stability.”(www.ontheissues.org)
