Noninterventionism is not isolationism. Nonintervention simply means America does not interfere militarily, financially, or covertly in the internal affairs of other nations. It does not mean that we isolate ourselves; on the contrary, our founders advocated open trade, travel, communication, and diplomacy with other nations.

Looking at Paul's statements on Israel, the Iraq War, Iran and foreign aid, to mention a few, he seems quite committed to this manner of foreign nonintervention policy. He seems firm regardless of other nation's actions or policies.
As a supporter of Ron Paul, are you comfortable with the inevitable fall out in the Middle East just to name one region of the world? First, Russia and China have never had any intention of modifying their interventionist ways (except Russia for a brief period of chaos under Yeltsen). Israel is totally dependent on American support, armaments, and subsidies for its continued existence. Ron Paul's policies would eventually result in another Holocaust for the Jews. Too few against too many and they would be eventually unarmed by US "nonintervention". The rest of the region would eventually be entangled in a chaotic "all against all" battle of tribe vs. tribe, nation against nation, sect vs. sect with the eventual winner influenced but not controlled by Russia. A "religious" regional authority with weak control over a multitude of tribes and their warlords seems inevitable.
Good for us??? Hell no, the route to power for any warlord demands they keep America as the Great Satan. Any American or American business foolish enough to venture overseas would be an easy and attractive target. At home we might not care as we would be staring at the shambles of our economy after every tin horn dictator has nationalized overseas factories, mines and oil wells. Our military, brought home to guard our then half empty buildings, would have to be careful to avoid the falling bodies of investor leaping out the windows.

This has to be the worst insult I've received in a long time. I, in no way shape or form, endorse Ron Paul. Any appearance of endorsement is only the result of parody. I personally think Ron Paul is a dangerous FRAUD.
