Libertarian Republican: Ron Paul is wrong on radical Islam

Germany and Japan.

In fact, I challenge you to demonstrate one instance in the 20th century where military expansionism benefitted a country. ANY country.

Even IF Tibet was a soveriegn nation, how did the PRC benefit from absorbing it?

That is a good question, it would seem that Tibet only adds costs and debate. My example does not fit the criteria, point made.

Notice how America didn't start suffering from Islamic terrorism until we started meddling in their affairs? The people attacking us aren't princes getting greased by American investors, they're dirt-poor, usually young males who are frustrated with their governments and societies in general that THE UNITED STATES supports. They turn to their mosques, where they learn that infidels cannot occupy the holy land (Saudi is home to both Mecca AND Medina), and they are radicalized. Then, the government, supported by the US, kills or rapes one or two family members of these already unstable individuals, thus further radicalizing them.

Show me a single instance of Islamic terrorism against the United States prior to our involvement in the region. No, the Barbary Wars don't count, piracy is not terrorism, it is profitable enterprise.

Ron Paul has been an opponent of interventionist foreign policy since before 9/11, and has always advocated bringing ALL of our soldiers home. He is not a coward by any stretch, he stands on national television during each debate surrounded by candidates and moderators decidedly opposed to his ideas, and he speaks his mind, free of talking points or rhetoric. Ron Paul advocates sane foreign policy, and that is to stop telling other people how to live.

Ron Paul Is Not Only A KOOK He Is Also A Fraud

You must be having trouble operating your keyboard, I hear they have remedial courses at local colleges. Ron Paul is THE definition of a conservative. There is no conservative platform for the United States for maintaining large, ineffective buracratic machines. First off, you'd have to have a clue about his platform to make an accurate assesment, which...you do not. He doesn't want to "get rid of", he wants to make them run effectively with LESS buracracy. He most certainly doesn't want to leave America defenseless, as a matter of fact, besides McCain, I believe he is the only other candidate that actually has military service. He wants America to have a very strong military defending guess what? AMERICA!!!

Freeman how about China.

If China applys, you gotta include Russia. Does Vietnam qualify?

Afghanistan turned out really well for the Russians.....

Afghanistan turned out really well for the Russians.....

you should probably let them know you're being sarcastic...

There problem was they couldn't afford it, we can. And it did turn out well for us. How often you here Afgan in the news?

we can afford it!? thats news to me, i was certain that we were in a globally and historicly unpreceded level of debt! but if you say we can afford it, then that makes it okay :thumbup:
