Dr. Paul feels that 50 years of interventionist policies in the Middle East incited hatred and contributed to the attack on 9/11. After 9/11, Dr. Paul responded by voting to fund and authorize force in Afghanistan. Dr. Paul supports the right of Israel to defend itself, but he opposes subsidizing Israel with taxpayer money, just as he opposes using taxpayer money to send foreign aid to any and all nations. As for alliances, Congressman Paul would follow Thomas Jefferson's advice to avoid "entangling alliances."I'm not quite satisfied with this. It fails to address Soviet intervention in the region. In that way, it reminds me of Chomsky, who blames Americans for doing whatever it took to defend the peace and liberty won in WWII during the Cold War.
However, I could probably support Dr. Paul if he's up against another RNC globalist. Another six years of this and America's goose will be cooked no matter what happens in the Mideast.
I’m not quite satisfied with this.
Yeah, it could have been more comprehensive. However, it is difficult to fully cover all policy contingencies when responding to an e-mail request............
Voters must ask themselves, “Even if I don’t agree 100% with this candidate’s positions, do I TRUST this candidate do do what is right and what is in the best interests of Americans first?”
From my perspective Dr. Paul is one of a very select group who are trustworthy.............
