This is quite interesting. They were proven wrong, so we should give them another chance. The Rothbard vision of the lack of danger the Soviets posed sounds very much like Paul's denial of the danger islamic terrorism poses. It seems very appropriate that Ron Paul has a picture of Rothbard in his office.
The Rothbard-Paul vision was rightly defeated during the Cold War. Now that the Cold War is over, it seems not only fair but wise to give it another hearing—and if it can’t be defeated on the merits, it deserves to win.
‘This is quite interesting. They were proven wrong, so we should give them another chance.’
Amazing, isn’t it?
Arguably, the situation has changed and what was a wrong strategy during the Cold War could be right in our current situation.
