Very naive statements. Your first sentence wouldn't be out of place in any Demonrat gathering. Negotiate with Iran? Hezbollah? Al Qaeda? As for Russia, it is the enabler of the Iranian nuclear program, which could kill more W. Europeans, Israelis, and Americans than the USSR ever did. As for China, it is a fatal error to think the Chicoms are a bunch of materialists interested in only economics. They realized what every other intelligent person did, which is that socialism doesn't work, so they concocted a fascist system, with enough private enterprise to generate the wealth to support an unprecedented and frightening military buildup. They know that national power is based on industry, diplomacy, and weaponry. They are working against us in all these areas.
The problem with libertarians in a nutshell is that they see everything in terms of economics, and think economic freedom will solve every social and global problem. The Muzzie terrorists are not motivated by materialism and economics, just to give one example.
I might be able to agree with you if I could see our present leadership getting its priorities right on the U.S. borders, with amnesty, and with respect to internationalism. I might agree with you if other candidates were talking about getting us out of the United Nations and NAFTA/CAFTA. I might be able to agree with you if I believed the foreign threat were more significant than the march of expanded federal power. You may be the naive one for failing to recognize the biggest threat to your own freedoms: the federal government’s expanded, unconstitutional power grabs.
