| Walter B. Jones |
Walter B. Jones, a Republican Congressman for North Carolina, criticized George Bush's foreign policy and sided with Democrats in attempts to withdraw troops from Iraq. Jones is strongly anti-war and has inspired anti-war groups to run campaign ads against Bush in the primary. He is a Ron Paul supporter, who people call the "anti-war libertarian icon") and is a part of the Institute for Peace and Prosperity. He has secretly written many letters to families whose relatives had been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan in efforts to apologize for the tragedy. The Emergency Committee For Israel, a neoconservative, pro-Israel group, began to run ads against Jones, saying his ideas take away from the ideals of America. I think Jones has every right to voice his opinions on foreign policy. Backlash from the Emergency Committee For Israel is something to be expected due to skewed opinions and beliefs on this topic.
