OK I see he supports Coast Guard and Port Security. Is that it? Does Paul think there IS a War on Terror? How would Paul respond to 9/11? To the next 9/11? Would he? Does he subscribe to the “don’t make ‘em mad” approach to foreign policy? Does he never ever see an “expeditionary” role for the US Military? How would Paul handle a scenario where American citizens, in the conduct of free trade throughout the world are attacked by (fill in the blank)? How would Paul respond to a situation where numerous Americans were taken hostage?
Just asking you understand. You’ve obviously researched they guy. His statements on Iraq are similar to Democratic statements so I’d like to know how/if he differs with respect to foreign policy.
In short, Ron Paul supported the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force against the Taliban who attacked the World Trade Center.
Basically, Ron Paul believes in Christian Just War Theory -- the State has a duty to punish those who actually attack the Citizenry, and that's about it. The State should not do much else (the State should do as little as possible).
