Voters need to be informed. Republican Presidential candidates owe it to citizens to reveal where they stand on foreign policy, international affairs, and conflict resolution.

“As I write in Elusive Peace, mediating peace is complicated and requires a set of highly trained skills. Unfortunately the U.S. is using outdated models of peace negotiations in a complex international arena with numerous and concurrent areas of civil unrest, wars, famine, and military engagements. The punishment and reward system does not work, and is an over simplified answer to diverse and complicated conflicts. As the U.S. has invested trillions of dollars in overseas military exercises and financial aid since 9/11, voters have a higher motivation than ever before to discern how much these candidates perceive, understand, and how they would treat foreign policy and peace negotiations,” Dougas E. Noll, author of Elusive Peace. http://ping.fm/XER0H
