America Committed To World Peace



America does not set out to settle political issues affecting other countries with violence; rather it makes concerted efforts to make peace.
 This was the remark of the US Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications, Mr.  Ben Rhodes, during a global live interactive discussion via a video Conference, organized by US Exchange Programme Alumni Worldwide.
Rhodes said in crisis situations, America would first rally the support of other well-meaning countries through diplomacy and only takes actions when all efforts to bring the matter under control fail.
Mr. Rhodes also said that US would not interfere in other nation’s governance, and would  moderate democratic values so that willing nations can develop the system at their own pace. 
 Admitting that aggressive policies by the US  has failed to yield the desired results, Rhodes said the US would continue to moderate the activities of allies so that nations in need of help could be visible in making decisions that affect them.
Journalists in Lagos participated in the video conference at the US Consulate , Victoria Island.
Correspondent Eunice Olile who was among participating journalists reports that the event was viewed by one hundred and ninety countries.
