“Paul opposes the Iraq war on Constitutional and traditional grounds. He doesn’t oppose it based on anti-war left grounds.”
Yes, Ron Paul certainly throws the Constitution around as his reason for everything he believes in. We all know that. But he basically ends up in the same place as these leftists when it comes to foreign policy.
I found this Human Events interview interesting and illustrates many aspects of Ron Paul’s foreign policy views.

According to Ron Paul we’re responsible for 9/11 because we installed the Shah.
HE: Youre saying overthrowing Mossadegh in 1953 and putting in the Shah led to the hostage-taking and 9/11?
RP: Absolutely.
HE: In other words, the militant fundamentalist regime took revenge on us for overthrowing the secular left-of-center regime in 53?
RP: There is always some militant-violent-jihadist looking to rally that faction, but they have to have incentives. The incentive is when we impose our will on them and we get involved in their internal politics. Besides, it contradicts everything the Founders theorized, and theres no constitutional authority for us to march around the world undermining different governments.
Bttt
