I believe we should always try to use diplomacy to prevent nuclear proliferation, but I could envision a situation where military intervention would be necessary to prevent a dangerous regime from attaining a nuclear weapon.

In the current climate, I would not support increasing American intervention into the Middle East, but this could change depending on the situation. |
