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”...
I've taken many graduate level physics courses and have never ever heard this stated.
In fact, the only way RP would have been taught this in a physics class is if he was attending course in Aristotelian physics, many, many centuries ago.

Do you really think a handful of monks on the the tiny Isle of Iona is a credible analogue for the 21st Century American Superpower?
You are suffering from a nasty case of psdueo-intellectualism.
