So do believe the US President and Congress should cite the United Nations as an authority when deploying US troops?

Thats one of the main reasons why he voted against going into Iraq. Ron Paul felt (and rightfully so) that we have no business enforcing bogus UN resolutions.

A lot of so called 'conservatives' on here will say the UN is useless. However, in their next breath, they will say that we were justified to go into Iraq because Hussein violated over a dozen resolutions. They can't have it both ways.

Hmmm.....

“...Can’t have it both ways...”

Some questions for you:

(1) Does Ron Paul think that our “cease-fire” with Saddam’s Iraq should have been “honored” by the US, even though the terms of that “cease-fire” were being deliberately violated by Saddam’s Iraq?

(2) Since Ron Paul thinks the US should not be the “world’s policeman”, who would he prefer to see in that role? Al Qaeda? The UN? Russia? China? Iran?

(3) Or did Ron Paul sleep through that part of his Physics class where vaccuums (”Nature abhors a vaccuum”) were explained?

(4) Does Ron Paul believe that, if ONLY Amercia would just set a high enough “moral example” to the world, then the world would renounce human nature and “Peace” and “Harmony” would thrive everywhere in the world?

(5) Does he understand that EVERY culture which actually practiced such “holier-than-thou pacifism” has been destroyed?

(6) Or did Ron Paul sleep though that part of his history class where the sacking of Iona was explained?

IMHO, it is Ron Paul who is trying to “have it both ways”...
