What truth? It is difficult to understand what Ron Paul would do to ensure American security. Guard the borders. No pre-emptive strikes. Congressman Paul, while a good man and a Christian, is shackled by his own ideology. He simply cannot be trusted to defend America in the modern era. His interview here with Human Events was at times very unclear. He seemed unable to answer questions directly, and kept returning to Iraq, over and over again. Paul could not truly enunciate an answer on whether he would ever engage in pre-emptive war. His war on terror would consist of guarding our borders and, apparently, nothing else. Al-Qaeda might be gathering strength for an attack, but Ron Paul would sit serenely behind Fortress America, secure in his ideological assumptions right up until the moment al-Qaeda attacks. And if our allies who have depended on us for decades run into trouble...well, that is their problem.
Paul’s fundamental assumption is that American power projected around the world is evil. I see it differently, as a needed balance to the ambitions of expansionist dictators.
