Ron Paul has some really good ideas. I particularly like his ideas on how to limit the power of the federal government.
But the problem is that he also has some really bad ideas. For example, it is one thing to limit our overseas commitments, but it’s another thing to abandon them, as Paul suggests.
Diplomacy always is superior to military intervention. The USA smacks a lot to some of the smaller nations as the people who run around like the World Pistoleros. I won’t judge his character for coming up with an alternative that gives people an idea that America is a system of law and respects national sovereignty. It’s this gallantry and cockiness that gave rise to the worlds Che Guevarras.
