Bill: Return to Peace - Foreign Policy for a New Millennium
Details
Submitted by[?]: Free Democratic Party
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: September 4013
Description[?]:
| A century ago, the currently non-existent Freedom Party led a foreign policy that stopped a potential world war. They dealt with religious fundamentalism from Ahmadis and authoritarian socialist regimes. They did this not by spending too much money on the military, but they instead stayed out of the affairs of other nations. They promoted fixing the authoritarianism in our own land before pointing the finger. They disapproved of Ahmadi law, and they, through the international community, spoke loudly about how corrupt their system was, but at the same time, they worked with moderate Ahmadi groups to stop the violence at the borders. Being willing to speak with your enemies first and showing that you are prepared for peace is the way to go. We need to follow the doctrine that led us into prosperity. Odel Grant - Candidate for President |
