It might be better if you studied a bit of history, before you take swipes at those who do. Japan attacked us at Pearl Harbor. We immediately (next day) declared War on Japan, and the next day, Hitler declared war on us, because of his alliance with Japan. We then declared war on Germany.
While I do not agree with Ron Paul on Korea, Viet Nam or even the first Gulf War, those are questions over which honorable men may differ. He is "spot on," in saying that we have no business waging war to change other people's cultures. See what George Washington "had to say" about the current U.S. foreign policy:
“He is “spot on,” in saying that we have no business waging war to change other people’s cultures.”
You don’t think we changed the ‘culture’ of Japan and Germany following WWII? We certainly do have the right to change the culture of any country who resorts to violence against us if no other reason than to make sure we don’t have to whip their butts a second time.
Just a might gratuitous there, counselor.
What Paul said was: "Sure. If you're attacked, you have a right and an obligation to defend (your) country. I do not believe there is ever a moral justification to start the war."
I said: "Why? Germany didn't attack us."
He didn't say anything about a declaration which is, at worst, a statement of intention, i.e. words.
