"You don't see terrorists targeting other prosperous, Western-style democracies such as Switzerland, Canada or Sweden," he said. "And one reason is that those governments don't meddle in other nation's affairs"
OK, I guess it's time for the Israelis to target Europe for some terrorist attacks; because the EU-NAZIs have really meddled bigtime in Israeli affairs. Don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen. Do you think it's possible our nation's Islamic enemies just happen to be depraved killers?
Ron is a RINO. Ballot access laws in Texas prevent him from running as a Libertarian. He is a member of the Libertarian party and the Republican party supported his opposition in the primary.
And if it weren't for Walter Cronkite, and possibly the French, they never would have had a victory.
Only after the missiles are fired.
The Party of self-abuse.
Kerry, I believe, is committed to staying with Iraq until they can function; Harry Browne, I believe, would pull out as soon as he could leaving Iraq open to anarchy.
Kerry would do whatever the polls tell him to do.
The Open-Borders Party is giving advice on terrorism prevention!
In other news: the Green Party is asking Congress to relocate the Yucca Mountain facility to Yellowstone.
You got that right,but left out the Russians/KBG and the American Commies!
A thoroughly illogical post. He has voted against all lavish spending programs that have been promoted by the GOP and the Dems. If that isn't checking spending, what is?
But he writes papers,that a very tiny group of FREEPERS applaud.His empty words fill you with happiness.His actions have done nothing,to some harm.But hey,keep right on worshiping your beloved idol,an idol with feet of clay tight up to his chin.
"What nations should we pull out of and what nations should we stay in? In your opinion?"
Pull out of Iraq once they are able to hold an election and police their own country.
Pull out of Afghanistan once they are able to do the same.
Pull out of Saudi Arabia and the rest of the Arabian peninsula. Keep our military forces stationed in Israel, which shouldn't be too much to ask, given how much military aid we give them annually.
Since I'm sure you'll disagree with the above and insist on being the World's Policeman, then how about withdrawing our 100,000 European troops and re-deploying them in the Arabian nations of necessity instead? Europe surely is in no need of our military presence any longer with the fall of the Warsaw Pact.
Also, there's no need being served by the 47,000 troops in Japan either. We can maintain our Pacific territories by redeploying them across the Pacific into US-held territory instead. Any leftovers can be shipped to Iraq, etc.
The borders are already open and the drug trade is booming in the ME. Whats left?
Really? He voted against the tax cut?
He hasn't done anything at all to make anything better.He votes WITH Dems.
Illogic on top of illogic. If he's voting against spending, then he's voting to check spending. This isn't a difficult concept, even for you.
I have no problem pulling out of Europe, Japan. We are already out of Saudi Arabia. If we pull out of Mid East you can kiss our economy goodbye. Although the Democrats say " War for oil " they are only partially right. It is a war for access to oil. We are more than willing to pay the going rate for oil. What we can't have is someone, al qaeda, Russia, China, Iran dictating oil policy for the west.
Alternate energy sources need to be created and reserves found, ANWAR, and developed. Cut dependence on Arab oil and those pesky terrorists will wither on the vine. Combine that with food embargo and we have a winning combination.

That is an excellent suggestion and intelligent response. Thanks for correcting me on Saudi ARabia military lack-of-presence and for this post!
Gee, what a strategy the "Libertarians" propose. Why giving each American a pillow case and bag of cotton balls is a whole lot cheaper than the war on terror -- that we can agree.
Are you implying that Europe is anti-Israel? Germany sold them three nuclear submarines; indeed, many Europeon nations sell weapons to Israel. They also do much business with Israel, pumping much money into their economy.
True, the EU nations also critisize Israel (just as Israel critisizes Europeon nations). And Europe does business with Arabs too. So Europeans may not be as one-sidedly pro-Israel as is the US. But even so, Israel benefits enormously from Europe, economically and militarily. Europe is hardly an "EU-NAZI" bastion, despite the talk radio racial slurs about "cheese-eating surrender monkeys."
