I would love to hear your reasoned conservative defense of Ron Paul’s position that we should leave the entire Arabian Peninsula because the terrorists that attacked on 9-11 want us to.

Here's a conservative reason. They don't want us there anymore than we want them here. Do you want them here in our country with their armed forces trampling all over the place building airstrips and bases? I sure wouldn't have it. Would you?
It's one thing to trade with foreigners, it's another to become involved in their internal struggles. Yes, we were attacked on 911 by Saudi Arabians who most likely were al qeda whatever. But the Saudis are our friends right? So we ignore them to attack Iraq. Makes sense to me. /s
Where's OBL? Even RP violated his oath by signing on to the Afghanistan authorization. He did so because he and congress were promised that OBL was there and that they would get him. RP wanted OBL's head on a platter like the rest of us. Where is it?
So when it came to Iraq, he didn't believe them anymore. So he didn't sign on. And it looks like he's still po'd for failure to deliver OBL.
Now we're nation building while the hunt for OBL is all but over. He's probably hiding out in Pakistan where the rest of al qeda is holed up regrouping. We won't touch that either because Pakistan is our "friend" BS.
If you believe that our winning in Iraq will end terrorism, then you are sorely and dangerously naive.
Personally, I would like to see us have a clear cut victory leaving behind a friend in the ME. But as a realist, I've seen nothing yet that convinces me that is possible.
Even Ronald Reagan understood these people,(muslim extremists,) were not a rational people. And that human life meant nothing to them. I believe his was dead on ***** accurate
If America wants to end terrorism, then it must cut off the head of the snake. The snake slithers restfully in SA using agents like those on 911 to do it's bidding. To believe otherwise is foolish. The Saudis are not our friends.
In order to cut off the head of the snake, we must elimenate our dependence on their oil. And we must re-pay them for the billions they have in our T-bills. Or not? Maybe not. Then we can get busy actually battling the war on terror. Bankrupt the murdering ********. Not cuddling them, holding hands with them, and inviting them to Crawford for a cook-out.
I delivered as requested my position. Now you deliver yours. You tell me how a win in Iraq will end global terrorism. If your argument can hold water, I am open to change my mind. I mean it.
