NPI launches National Defense section
The Northwest Progressive Institute is pleased to announce the debut of our National Defense section. We're hard at work finishing the website we first started in August of 2003, and this section's debut is another step forward toward completion.
Brian Moran (who also authors WashBlog) is the principal author of this section. He's done a fine job and the rest of us at NPI commend him for fine research and solid writing.
Republicans often accuse Democrats and progressives of being soft on defense, but that is a myth. The reality is that we believe in peace first and war second, usually in defense of our homeland.
We are almost always opposed to the policy of "preemptive strike". We are not the world's policeman and we cannot do just what we please.
We must work with other nations to faciliate international cooperation. By seeking to understand and talk to those that consider us enemies, we reduce the need to go to war. We can all benefit from a more peaceful world.
