****Your broadcast post with an IRS challenge doesn’t make you right. Yes, there were a number of attack posts; but you still ignored the valid ones.****

Ron Paul isn’t perfect and peoples biggest problem is his position on the WOT. However if there isn’t continued improvement in Iraq and Afghanistan and some serious stability by 2010 than a serious reassessment of the methods being used in this war will needed. A generation of American isolationism just might be the best thing for America to refortify it’s power and for the rest of the world to learn to look out for itself. If America only acted militarily to defend it’s NATO allies and didn’t get involved in defending non allies and stayed out of UN sanctioned conflicts after a generation you may see a safer world.

Actually, people's biggest problem is that he's a raging loon. He's a few sandwiches shy of a picnic. A few fries short of a Happy Meal. His elevator doesn't hit all the floors. he don't have all his dogs barkin'.

Folks who subscribe to every half-baked conspiracy theories, from neo-Nazis to 9/11 truthers, see him as their savior. I wouldn't be surprised if he had a campaign ad promising to name the shooters on the grassy knoll.

What I'm trying to say, in my own subtle way, is, dude's nuttier than a bowl of cashews.

However if there isn’t continued improvement in Iraq and Afghanistan and some serious stability by 2010 than a serious reassessment of the methods being used in this war will needed.

A serious reassessment of the methods used in this war is an ongoing event. Even Cheney and Rumsfeld have admitted to errors in the initial effort. It was reassessed last year, reassessed this year, and will be reassessed next year.

A generation of American isolationism just might be the best thing for America to refortify it’s power

Yeah, because that's worked so well in the past. I mean, we wouldn't want to intervene in Europe in 1933, because it was, oh God, so much more fun in 1942. And isolationism and tariff walls did so much good in preventing the Depression in 1930. But hey, Ron Paul is smarter than history. I'm sure it will work out this time.

and for the rest of the world to learn to look out for itself. If America only acted militarily to defend it’s NATO allies and didn’t get involved in defending non allies and stayed out of UN sanctioned conflicts after a generation you may see a safer world.

So September 11, 2001, was just an "oopsie?" I didn't see any UN sanction in Afghanistan, and our NATO allies took their hits in London and Madrid.

As evidenced by your gratuitous assertion without factual analysis?

Why 2010? What makes that year so important?

What constitutes "serious stability"? A valid case could be made that both countries are more "stable" now than ever before in their histories.

Forgive me if I ignore your assumed premise and just proceed with the realization that you don't know much about anything.
