Message | I am against both - Article 2 will only promote global arms buildups, which can only hurt Quanzari's economy. Prisoner's of War are not our citizens, therefore they should be treated according to the international standards, which are generally more humane. |

Message | Although an arms deal to a neutral country may sound like a good deal in the present, in the future such an action would have huge consequences. War does not help anyone, especially the lower-middle class workers who are called upon to fight the wars of richer companies. I am against bills which would strengthen the war machine. I will compromise by allowing exports to close, long term allies. |

Message | I disagree with the first, but I agree with the second, and I would vote for this bill as is, although I would like to see the articles split up. However, if i must, I'll vote for both. |
Date | 22:04:00, March 10, 2006 CET | From | Crimson Conservative Elite | To | Debating the Military Reform |
Message | to the Whigs: if this bill passes, the Crimson Conservative Elite would be willing to make compromises and possibly change the policy set forth by the second article in a later bill. |
