Honestly, I like Ron Paul on the economy, but he has completely lost me with his foreign policy. He blamed the US for 9/11, said the US is a greater threat than Iran, and he said in the debate that Iran does not have planes that can reach the US and can’t even make enough gas to get them here... problem with that statement is this: You could have said the same exact thing about Al Qaeda on 9/10/01, but they were able to take out 3,000 people here in the US in about 90 minutes. I just don’t think he understands Islamic extremism.
I appreciate your kindly worded response. I will be the first to admit that RP isn’t perfect. Perhaps you are correct. However, if Saudi Arabia had a military base in the US, would that prompt some people to take extreme action against it? I’m a Texan and can tell you if a foreign country had a mil base in Texas I’d get pretty extreme pretty fast. My opinion...bring em home.
