America is the strongest nation on earth. With that strength comes responsibility. We must work with the international community, the United Nations, and non-governmental organizations around the world to ensure peace and security throughout the world. The Montana Green Party supports diplomacy and non-violence as the means of dealing with international problems. We are opposed to unilateral and preemptive military action. We support greater accountability of all governmental agencies to the Congress, the representatives of the people, to prevent out-of-control militarism.
We believe in the protection of human rights everywhere in the world and we believe that each nation has an innate right to self-government; neo-colonialism hurts the people in developing countries and should be considered beneath the dignity of our nation. Violence and oppression only breeds hatred and more violence. Dialogue, diplomacy and a realization of our interdependence is the only road to real and lasting peace.
