Speculation
I don’t have anything other than what he has said to go on. He’s an inspiring candidate, but that’s not enough. I feel the same way about Fred Thompson: like Thompson could be a globalist, and probably is, Dr. Paul may be so much of an isolationist that he’d let Iran go nuclear.
Dr. Paul feels that 50 years of interventionist policies in the Middle East incited hatred and contributed to the attack on 9/11. After 9/11, Dr. Paul responded by voting to fund and authorize force in Afghanistan. Dr. Paul supports the right of Israel to defend itself, but he opposes subsidizing Israel with taxpayer money, just as he opposes using taxpayer money to send foreign aid to any and all nations. As for alliances, Congressman Paul would follow Thomas Jefferson's advice to avoid "entangling alliances."I'm not quite satisfied with this. It fails to address Soviet intervention in the region. In that way, it reminds me of Chomsky, who blames Americans for doing whatever it took to defend the peace and liberty won in WWII during the Cold War.
However, I could probably support Dr. Paul if he's up against another RNC globalist. Another six years of this and America's goose will be cooked no matter what happens in the Mideast.
