A devastating critique if it were true. But since it isn't your statement has all the impact of a beer fart in a whirlwind.

Paul has expressed his belief that the Islamists are attacking us because of our foreign policy going back to the 1950s.

A quick look at the history of Islam demonstrates that the Islamists have been attacking us and Western Civilization since Mohammed was old enough to lift a sword.

The radical Muslims who want us dead want us dead because it is, as Tancredo said, a dictate of their religion.

Paul's assertions that our foreign policy has brought them to this point just aren't correct.

I have for a long time been a fan of Ron Paul's. His stance on the Constitution is correct. And he is correct that there should have been a formal declaration of war before Afghanistan.

However, unless I misunderstand his positions, his judgement of the threat posed by the Islamists and his unwillingness to actively engage them on foreign soil are unacceptable in my opinion.

If you think Paul would fight the Islamists, then perhaps you know something about his position that I don't.

You do. A quick perusal of his website is all that's necessary to correct that.

Apparently I do.
