Well I sympathize with the Paul voter in not wanting war.
However war is coming, just look at what is happening in the world! The Middle East is NOT headed for an era of “Good Feelings & Friendly Relations With its Neighbors” it doesn't matter if Israel in there or not! An expansionist Iran with nuclear weapons is in the near future unless there is a regime change. Anyone think that will happen peacefully if at all? And I also think they are so close to having nuclear weapons that it no longer matters who is President. I think that genie is out of the bottle. Look for Saudi Arabia, Iraq & Turkey to cut “deals” with Iran. This will give them only a temporary respite. Look for Iran to close the Straits of Hormuz and dare the West to do something. I doubt it there is anything that can be done. The cat is too far out of the bag!
Let's consider the rest of the world, Europe is about to possibly go unstable. Southern Europe which is 4 out of the 5 PIIGS is particularly vulnerable. The upcoming Tunisa-Libya-Egypt (Morocco will be next!) turmoil is very likely to contribute to Southern Europe's woes.
It doesn't matter if we stick our fingers in our ears and go “ la la la”, its coming ! We don't have to look for it its coming to us. The question is, do we put someone in office who wants to play “Let's pretend it isn't so?”. We are doing the “Reality is optional approach now! How is that working for you?” It doesn't matter if we support Israel or not it is still coming! (Anyway I am completely convinced before my lifetime is out we will see a second Holocaust! Antisemitism is too wide spread and “socially acceptable” again for it not to happen!)
Right now its has the feel of the 1920s to 1930s, one could argue we just had our “Roaring 20s” and we are in a beginning to mid-stage depression era.

There is NO STOPPING the Muslim pursuit of "Infidels", and Jews are the number 1 target, followed by Americans. To think that it won't come to pass that another "Religious War" will happen is to ignore what's really happening. China will NOT allow oil countries to be taken, period. Likewise, we are so indebted to Chinese money that they won't take kindly to us not being able to pay, either.
