You are way out of step with your man Paul.
He wants to leave the entire middle east and leave them alone, withdrawing into ourselves like the good isolationist he is with the hope they won’t hurt us, just like the most pathetic appeasers and defeatists in the Democrat party.

Leveling any country is the furthest thing from peacenik Ron Paul’s foreign policy.

Name me one of our M.E. policies that has actually worked Post WW2 without end up resulting in a bloody disaster and backfiring in our face. No he wants us to stop trying to run their nations for them. Stop arming them also. Yes I support that. THAT is what has made problems for us. We have backed leaders over there or gave them blinks. Leader the M.E. people despised. We can not afford to be the world Nanny for the U.N. nor should congress allow it to start with.

Maybe if the US State Department shut down ten years some improvements may be made. Let the Pentagon control foreign intelligance. It also does not mean we can not take out by more rational means the leaders who wish us troubles and are a threat to our national security. Again Ron Paul would do it or call for it as it is the duty of congress. Get them early on and QUIETLY.

Ron Paul's foreign policy. His actual words from www.ronpaul2008.com

War and Foreign Policy

The war in Iraq was sold to us with false information. The area is more dangerous now than when we entered it. We destroyed a regime hated by our direct enemies, the jihadists, and created thousands of new recruits for them. This war has cost more than 3,000 American lives, thousands of seriously wounded, and hundreds of billions of dollars. We must have new leadership in the White House to ensure this never happens again.

Both Jefferson and Washington warned us about entangling ourselves in the affairs of other nations. Today, we have troops in 130 countries. We are spread so thin that we have too few troops defending America. And now, there are new calls for a draft of our young men and women.

We can continue to fund and fight no-win police actions around the globe, or we can refocus on securing America and bring the troops home. No war should ever be fought without a declaration of war voted upon by the Congress, as required by the Constitution.

Under no circumstances should the U.S. again go to war as the result of a resolution that comes from an unelected, foreign body, such as the United Nations.

Too often we give foreign aid and intervene on behalf of governments that are despised. Then, we become despised. Too often we have supported those who turn on us, like the Kosovars who aid Islamic terrorists, or the Afghan jihads themselves, and their friend Osama bin Laden. We armed and trained them, and now we’re paying the price.

At the same time, we must not isolate ourselves. The generosity of the American people has been felt around the globe. Many have thanked God for it, in many languages. Let us have a strong America, conducting open trade, travel, communication, and diplomacy with other nations.
