Ron Paul is an isolationist. By its very nature isolationism is a passive strategy, and the antithesis to strong national security.
Isolationism and passivism brought us 9/11.
No he's not. Perhaps you may want to look at the definition of isolationism. Rep. Paul believes in trade with all and conversations with all. He's been quite clear on that. Because historically that's how you can change a nation's bent (i.e. Vietnam)
Would you please explain to me how the United States was isolationist in the years leading up to 9/11?
