I know I harp on the importance of foreign policy in this election…..and I will admit that I am a non-interventionist…..I do not think that going to war can solve the problems in the world….I do say that there are times when war can be justified….

To say that I am not impressed with the foreign policy of Hillary or Trump would be an understatement….they are both neocons regardless what they would like to label themselves.

Likewise with Bernie….but I do not think that he is a neocon and his lack of any foreign relations experience could bite him in the butt if he were to be elected……

I am always look for articles about the candidates foreign policy positions to help my readers understand why this is so important…..

I found an article that presses the issue that Bernie’s lack of substantial experience in foreign policy could be a plus and a positive sign……

Progressives like LA Progressive editor Dick Price have indicated many domestic reasons why progressives prefer Bernie Sanders to Hillary Clinton. A recent New York Times editorial also emphasizes his domestic stances but concedes that “Mrs. Clinton outflanks him on both knowledge and practice of foreign policy.” This essay, however, will argue that we voters should pay more attention to Sanders’ dovish approach to foreign policy, as contrasted to the more hawkish and belligerent positions of Clinton and Trump. As president, he would be less likely than Clinton or Trump to involve us in foreign entanglements that would cause more human and economic pain and divert attention and resources from important domestic problems.

I do not know for sure if I can agree with this position….for one, Bernie would have to deal with a Congress that is mostly neocons and neo-liberals….in other words pro-war…..that alone would prevent any sound and rational policies almost non-existent…..

What say you after reading the piece…..is it a positive or a negative?
