Dear Bill Weld: Here are 5 Reasons Johnson is More Qualified than Clinton

2. Gary Johnson isn’t an interventionist

Yes, Clinton voted for the Iraq war, but this was only one instance of her desire to intervene in Iraq. She was staunchly in favor of Operation Desert Fox, a 1998 bombing raid against Iraq. As Secretary of State, her interventionist policies destabilized Libya and much of the Middle East. It may not be fair to say she personally created ISIS, but interventionist policies like hers most certainly created the climate in which ISIS rose to power.

Perhaps because of these developments, Pew Research has found that Americans have become skeptical of interventionism.

At a time when our citizens are realizing that the foreign policies of the past have not made us safer, and our national debt has swelled from the costs of relentless war, Johnson’s restrained approach to foreign policy makes him more qualified for the Oval Office.
