NFL Receiver Donte’ Stallworth’s Secret Life as a Foreign Policy Wonk

Donté Stallworth is currently a free agent who has been a wide receiver for the New Orleans Saints, Philadelphia Eagles, the New England Patriots, the Cleveland Browns, the Baltimore Ravens, and the Washington Redskins.

He also has some thoughts on Iran he’d like to share:

Nothing good comes away from a US/Israel war with Iran… Especially when you have TOP U.S. military brass saying it’s, "not prudent."

And on drones:

We (the U.S.) are setting a dangerous precedent with regard to extrajudicial and extraterritorial killings by way of #drones.

And on Syria:

And if the war spreads beyond Syrian borders, you have Iraq, Turkey, Lebanon and Israel. #USinterestsAndAllies

We could go on — on topics ranging from nuclear nonproliferation to Israeli-Palestinian peace. Hey, @DonteStallworth, if the free agent thing doesn’t work out, how about coming to work for us….
