John Edwards (D)

"We need to restore America's moral authority and re-engage with the world | and start by ending the war in Iraq."

"I will restore America's standing by negotiating with friends and adversaries, and leading by example with our values and ideals."



Ron Paul (R)

"Interventionism is a failed policy; we should trade, talk and travel, but never invade pre-emptively. America should lead by example."



Bill Richardson (D)

"I will end the war in Iraq and lead a new, bipartisan foreign policy rooted in reality and in the enduring values that unite us."



Mitt Romney (R)

Our future depends on our willingness to hold to the principles that have guided and built our nation. It depends on the character and sacrifices of the American people.



Tom Tancredo (R)

"Our foreign policy should always benefit the citizens of our country, and our interests must be protected at all costs."



Fred Thompson (R)
