Yeah there are problems. what do you suggest? Isolationism?
We have to engage the world in order to lead.
No not at all. But I do suggest we re-build our military strength back to where two bit nations do not feel so confident to take us on. Many people think Ron Paul would not tell with heads of state sponsoring terrorism. He would deal with them in much less intrusive manner and still work within the Constitution. Letter or Marque is the answer in the M.E.
Ron Paul was the only Republican to call for a formal declaration of war. Why was that? To prevent a nation building project that Bush had planned from before the invasion began? To make the war in Iraq a strictly military mission to eliminate any future threats? Or maybe he wanted Bush to use other Constitutional means available before sending hundreds of thousands of troops to Iraq? Maybe he wanted to avoid another crisis like the one LBJ created? maybe he didn't want to repeat Post WW2 history?
