Jeanne Shaheen on Homeland SecurityPreviously Democratic Governor (NH); candidate for Senate 2008 |
A: I would vote to authorize military action if the US or any of its treaty partners are attacked militarily, and to prevent an imminent attack. America and all countries have long had the right to prevent an imminent attack with proportional military force. I oppose the Bush doctrine of preemption because it implies that the United States will use preemption as a first option, rather than a last resort.
A: The United States needs to return to the table in assessing how we can most effectively participate in institutions such as the ICC. For example, I support U.S. participation in the ICC as an observer, as we strive to gain all necessary assurances to safeguard and to protect Americans serving overseas, to prevent their becoming targets unfairly.
A: Yes.
Q: Do you support U.S. ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty?
A: Yes.
