| Message | While the Wildrose Party is not militaristic and the initiatives on the intelligence service and landmines are especially laudable, we can not support the bill. If, of course, the article on the military policy was axed, then we could begin negotiations. Unfortunately, the world is not peaceable and only responds seriously to force; also, if Aloria ever wants to have its time in the sun, it needs to have some kind of military in place. |
