The Way to a Just Foreign Policy Aaron Hughes spent the spring of 2003 transporting supplies from Kuwait to Iraq as a soldier in the Army National Guard. Today, he is an outspoken anti-war activist. "I didn't have an epiphany," Hughes says of his turnabout. "I just continually hoped that I could help the Iraqi people, that my fellow soldiers would be respected as human beings by the military. And after one year and three months over there, that hope was shattered." He thought his gun could be used to defend democracy only to "awake to my weapon pointed at the hungry, and I am the oppressor."

The Way to a Just Foreign Policy

Aaron Hughes spent the spring of 2003 transporting supplies from Kuwait to Iraq as a soldier in the Army National Guard. Today, he is an outspoken anti-war activist.

"I didn't have an epiphany," Hughes says of his turnabout. "I just continually hoped that I could help the Iraqi people, that my fellow soldiers would be respected as human beings by the military. And after one year and three months over there, that hope was shattered." He thought his gun could be used to defend democracy only to "awake to my weapon pointed at the hungry, and I am the oppressor."
