Militaristic foreign policy is destroying America.
More by Ralph Nader
“I think most Americans are ready for waging peace and not just brutalizing our foreign policy which is boomeranging against us.”
“I have a consistent rule: The American people should know as much about the Pentagon as the Soviet Union and China do, as much about General Motors as Ford does, and as much about City Bank as Chase Manhattan does.”
“Once you don't vote your ideals ... that has serious undermining affects. It erodes the moral basis of our democracy.”

“This policy represents a massive injustice against Iraqi civilians, ... and it must be ended - not after Mr. Clinton leaves office, but now.”
“What I could not support was a dumb war, a rash war, a war based not on reason but on passion, not on principle but on politics.”
“What is certainly true is that the United States has to have a presence to promote the values that we care about.”

“The most powerful military country in the world, America - which makes all the guns, all the machinery, all the bullets - taught us how to shoot the guns.”
“I believe the United States of America must remain a standard bearer in the conduct of war. That is what makes us different from those whom we fight. That is a source of our strength. That is why I prohibited torture. That is why I ordered the prison at Guantanamo Bay closed. And that is why I have reaffirmed America's commitment to abide by the Geneva conventions. We lose ourselves when we compromise the very ideals that we fight to defend.”
“One thing the military does far better than business is train its own leaders. I can't go to IBM and hire a battalion commander. They don't have any.”
