Well, you know the old saying. They're all a bunch of bums. But they're our bums.(rhetorically speaking.)

Ron Paul is crazy, as a fox taking money from George Soros and backing ultra liberal ideas, he is a red herring set to steal numbers from true republican candidates.

Happy New Year!

No, Ron Paul makes zero sense.

America can no more refuse to interact with other nations than human beings can refuse to interact with other human beings.

The inevitable consequence of Paul's logic is that the US would refuse to recognize that there are any other sovereign nations and withdraw all our ambassadors and consuls, send home all other countries' ambassadors and consuls, and abrogate all treaties and agreements between the US and other nations.

In other words: idiocy of the highest order.

Pakistan is the “tar baby” and the USA is Brer Rabbit. We need to get the hell out of there and nuke any one who messes with us.

The U.S. Has been involved with Pakistan for over 60 years now our intervention has something to do with htese nut jobs.

The current relationship we have with countries like Pakistan seems to be the worst possible one: we are sufficiently engaged with them so as to get blamed when something goes wrong, while not having the leverage to actually get them to do anything.

America can no more refuse to interact with other nations than human beings can refuse to interact with other human beings.

What if a child molester is trying to interact with a child? Not all interactions are welcome, nor should be.

If you have adult children, do you tell your adult children which sexual positions they are allowed to enjoy in the bedroom? Of course, not. It's not your damn business and the odds that your order would be what was best are small. What the US is doing in Pakistan is more bizarre. We're telling the adult children of other parents what they are allowed to do.

Pakistanis don't pay US taxes. They have no representation in our government. But we are comfortable telling them how to run their country. It's madness and we'd NEVER accept that from some other country. What if France decided it was going to order us around? Would you be fine with that?

"[The U.S.] policy of supporting dictatorship is breaking up my country. I now think al Qaeda can be marching on Islamabad in two to four years."

Why should eggheads in our government have more say in Pakistan's affairs than a Pakistani like Bhutto?
