[Milton Friedman]

“I applaud your commitment to the War in Iraq. But you’re mistaken if you believe Ron Paul, and others, aren’t committed to the opposite; a complete withdrawal from Iraq, if not also Afghanistan and the the Middle-East as a whole.

Please! Be aware of the ramifications should certain misguided Americans have their say in the 2008 elections. And Ron Paul can rightly be lumped with that group.”

I don’t agree with his stance on Iraq right now, but I do agree with much of his theory.

Paul will never be President. He is an honest man and a thinking man. I would like some of his ideas to influence future policy, not current policy. We need to avoid entanglements as much as possible. We need to engage the world through free trade and the battle of ideas instead of with a heavy hand.

I'd consider him more honest if he'd acknowledge his true political alliance (libertarianism; not constitutionist). As to his thinking, he's quite misguided IMHO, and I hope his influence on future policy is minor. I think we can agree to disagree.

And when others don't let us: Foxbats Did Fly over Dimona: Soviet Union may have Instigated the Six Day War (1967)?

I was stationed in Germany at the time. We were on constant alert all the while. Sometimes, events just don't let us sit back and enjoy life. What then?
