1- We are not constitutionally obligated follow anything the UN is in charge of.. and neither was Saddam obligated to do so. 2- We have no business being the worlds policemen.. and neither do the rest of the nations you listed. 3- Huh? I think you're trying to bring some element of philosophy into this.. 4- That is not what he believes. Go to his webpage and do research if you want to know what he believes. 5- You will have to read his webpage and his writings on there to figure that out. He has writings that date back years. He is pretty consistant. 6- I don't know. I was not in school with him. You can e-mail him and ask him.

OK.. OK..

Perhaps I should have specified that Mr. Paul’s ignorance of vacuums is of an “elementary” nature. Please see the experiment described at this website of the Physics Department of the University of Virginia:

It seems so strange to me that in all of your graduate courses in Physics, you never encountered the “Ideal Gas Law”. This law explains why the vacuum created in the experiment above was crushed,, why jet engines work, why refrigerators work, why rockets work, why internal combustion engines work etc etc. Forgive the pun, but if you don’t know what happens when gases of different pressures meet, than your knowledge of Physics contains a “vacuum”.

The sacking of Iona was a historical example selected to show that the “power of moral leadership” is much, much weaker than its moralistic proponents (mostly Democrats, pacifists and RP) claim it to be. Superior “holiness” does not, in itself, prevent violent people from doing evil things.

In other words, if our 21st Century Super-power shirks its DUTY to be the world’s policeman, then the world’s thugs and bully-boys will call the tune that we find ourselves dancing to.

The "Ideal Gas Law" has nothing to do with your Aristotle quote and even less to do with foreign policy.

The tactical position of the residents of Iona was extremely poor regardless of their views of morality.

Who the *bleep* nominated you to be posting police?

Ron Paul is the Eugene McCarthy of the Republican party.
