Guingona opposes US war doctrine

Basahin ang artikulong ito sa Pilipino

In a speech on August 8, Vice President Teofisto Guingona criticized the US' "first strike policy" which he fears would be used to intervene in the Philippines and wage war against other countries. Guingona said that it "endangers world peace".

Guingona's stand is unique among high-ranking officials of US neocolonies worldwide, who are all known to actively support any US policy. It also runs contrary to Macapagal-Arroyo's policy of blindly supporting any and all of US President George Bush's policies.

Bush recently stated that the US should launch preemptive strikes against countries it considers as supporters of "terrorism".

Guingona said that no one has the right to do such a thing merely because it had power.

Guingona also said that the continuation of Balikatan exercises could imperil the peace negotations with the revolutionary movement and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front.
