"When America becomes a broke and bankrupt nation, they will lack the financial ability to threaten anyone, and the Iranians will laugh at any American threats."

And, with a mushroom cloud rising over NYC or DC, whatever is or isn't left in the nation's treasury becomes quickly irrelevant.

We need leaders who have the intellect and vision to recognize the lethality of America's enemies, and then posses the courage to fight them, with violence and wherever they are. If Rand is anything like his father, you'll have to color me skeptical, very very skeptical.

Exactly.

He can be entirely right on economic matters but when it comes to international relations he’s death - literally.

Rand Paul strongly supports the war in Afghanistan. And he supports tough military action on those nations or terror groups that attack America. But he views nation-building as similar to the social engineering programs that liberals promote in America. His opposition to nation building will save America a lot of money.

Would that be leaders like GWB?
