Do you believe it is in our economic interest to spend billions setting up democracies in the midst of peoples who don't give a rats behind about the freedoms we enjoy? If you want them to have democracy so badly, why not invite them over here? No we can't do that. We've got borders to protect.
Your reaction to Dr. Paul's stand on the issues is demonstrative of a deeply held ignorance with regard to other lands and peoples, and the manner and degree the principles we espouse might be enjoyed.
Maybe you think these fanatics just woke up one morning and decided to fly passenger planes into our "econnomic interests." Thank God there are people who know better. Dr. Paul happens to be one of them. So is President Bush along with a few other fine Republican candidates for the Office.
I support Bush and seems you just said you do. So I am a bit confused.
As far as protecting interest I am mainly refering to our Asian and European interest however our intrest is making any and every attempt to secure the middle east plays into that at least until we secure more oil resources over here, which ain’t happening anytime soon.
I do find it interesting that you complain about nation building and then support Bush. It is also intersting that you say several republicans running understand the threat and mention Paul among them.
