THE LAST DEBATE

The third and final debate between the two candidates running for the office of the President of the United States took place, last night, and I thought the debate fairly good and letting the viewing public know where the candidates stand on how the U.S. is seen by foreign countries and what role the U.S. should strive to take in the future. I also feel that the toughest questions on foreign policy were not asked or were not answered directly, and that’s politics. Just remember that when it comes to foreign policy, it comes down to decisions. The president of this country makes a decision on how he or she will interact with foreign leaders. The president of this country makes a decision on whether or not to go to the Congress to declare war on another country. The president makes a decision on whether or not to take military action against another country (normally with the support of Congress). The president makes a decision on whether or not sanctions should be imposed on another country and how severe those sanctions should be. The president makes a decision on whether we see another country as a friend or foe to the United States of America. When you go to vote on November 6, keep what you heard about foreign policy in mind, and just as importantly, if not more so, keep in mind what you heard and know about the candidates’ stand on the economy. Most importantly, cast your vote for the presidential candidate you feel will do the best job of making this country a strong, safe, and prosperous nation, now and for future generations.
