As you may know, in 1994 in the African country of Rwanda, the majority ethnic group, the Hutus, which controlled the government, carried out mass killings of over 500,000 people who were members of a minority ethnic group, the Tutsis. Do you think the United Nations, including the US (United States), should or should not have gone in with large military force to occupy the country and stop the killings?

Until recently, almost all governments agreed that no matter what atrocities a government commits against its own people--even if it killed, tortured, or moved many thousands of its people--other countries have no right to intervene. Now because of events in places in Rwanda, Kosovo, and East Timor, other countries have sometimes intervened. I principle, do you think there are some times when other countries should have the right to intervene to protect people from their own government or not?

Most countries have agreed to rules that prohibit torturing prisoners to extract information. Which comes closer to your point of view?...Terrorists pose such an extreme threat that governments should now be allowed to use torture if it may gain information that saves innocent lives. Rules against torture should be maintained because torture is morally wrong and weakening these rules may lead to the torture of US (United States) soldiers who are held prisoner abroad.

We've captured Saddam Hussein, killed Zarqawi, held successful elections in Iraq, and increased the number of battle-ready Iraqi battalions. But Democrats want to leave before the job is done, which would send a signal to our troops that the sacrifices they made were not worth it.
