Ron Paul does not support the war in Iraq.
He is no better than the Dems.

I am glad you mentioned that. Your first statement is true. Your second statement is false (as I suspect you know, so I am going to let it pass as mere hyperbole).

I do support the war and I disagree with Ron Paul on the war. But I understand his position and it is a well thought out and principled position. Ron Paul opposed the war in Iraq from the beginning because he did not believe that Saddam Hussein's despotism in Iraq was the most immediate threat to the security of the United States. I would say history has been kind to his view.

I think we need to finish the job we started in Iraq. But my enthusiasm for the war diminished greatly once the mission became bringing democracy to everybody in the middle east.
