More power to Ron Paul on this - he is on the mark.
But his international perspective remains painfully lacking and, yes, naive. Would that we could be isolationist. But that world no longer exists.
Why. I'm not a paul supporter, but one who is P***ed off at the thieving, lying, polititians from both parties. Our troops are placed at risk, and given a ROE that either ensures death or risks trial. Folks, both parties want to destroy our country, whether by design, or stupidity. It's only a matter of time. Fast by the Dems, slow but sure by the repubs. Taxation without representation : we fought a war against, now, doesn't seem to matter. All three presidential candidates laugh at the will of the people, and the people who contribute least get the power. Thank God I'm old, and hopefully will not have to witness the end.
"Isolationist" is not the same thing as "non-interventionist."
