Senator Sunuwho? Sununu’s Real Record on Foreign Policy

On March 6, Senator John E. Sununu will deliver an address, “Toward a Safer World: How the International Community Could Work Better to Prevent and Resolve Global Conflicts,” at a conference sponsored by the School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University.

It’s instructive that Sununu is giving this speech at Johns Hopkins, the school whose former dean is former Bush Deputy Defense Secretary and architect of the mismanaged war in Iraq, Paul Wolfowitz. Sununu’s steadfast support of the Bush administration’s reckless approach to international affairs helped lead our country into one of the worst foreign policy crises in recent history. As a result of Sununu’s willful compliance with that policy, the world is less safe, global conflicts are increasing, and the United States’ standing in the international community is at an all-time low. Sununu’s actions over the course of the past six years provide a case study in what NOT to do in the effort to prevent and resolve global conflicts.
