Ron Paul isn’t at all concerned about Islamic nations joining the nuclear club because he believes “mutually assured destruction” (MAD) will prevent a nuke disaster in the U.S., just like it did during the Cold War. This of course ignores a couple of facts -— 1) cult-crazed Islamics (like the Iranian mullahs and their puppet Ahmadinejad) don’t have the same self-preservation instincts as our old Soviet foes; and 2) the great potential for nuclear arms to end up in the possession of terrorist orgs. The Cold War doctrine of “MAD” doesn’t apply in these circumstances, obviously. In the era of Islamic fanaticism combined with advanced nuclear tech, the type of isolationism RP advocates is suicidal.
brilliant post!!!
while some of RP’s economics points may be valid,
he clearly has no understanding of Islam whatsoever!
