Well let’s go over a few of our interventions — we kept the Soviets from their quest of obtaining a warm water port when they invaded Afghanistan; prevented Iran from taking over Iraq (Islamic fundamentalists with a stranglehold over the ME is really not good for anyone); Saddam taking over Kuwait and Saudia Arabia (Saddam Hussein with a stranglehold over the ME is really not good for anyone); oh and that silly stand by Israel thing that pretty much ensures their continued existence on this planet.

Ron Paul looks the other way because he has that term limit bill he has to lobby for.
