I agree with that, and just said in another post that maybe we should amend the constitution to reflect our new reality — because in some ways Paul’s argument on the constitution seems quite correct, and I justify ignoring it under the sound principle that the constitution is not a death wish.
To: hellbender
If he would have allowed the missiles in Cuba, what would he have done to stop a first strike? Based on what he has said, it seems that he would contend that Cuba is sovereign and the Constitution would have not allowed Kennedy to do what he did. If we let Cuba alone (substitute, if we left the Middle East alone) Cuba would have no desire to attack us, so the presence of missile should not be a problem.

The interviewer should then have asked Paul if he would at least approve letters of marque so a wooden square-rigged privateer could stop the North Korean ship.
To: mnehrling
ahhh, but we signed the NNT, and guess where North Korea got the technology behind their nukes, Clinton Imagine if Great Britain had blown up our ships when they delivered the Clinton cargo to North Korea.
To: CharlesWayneCT
but we aren’t North Korea so the so called moral equivalence doesn’t play here, we are allies with Great Britain, who are also signers of the NATO Treaty, thus it would be a breach in that treaty to fire on us.

Good points. Technology and suicidal maniacs will continue to force change. Responsible people also need to help people understand our constitution applies to US citizens.

In your case, you probably should.
To: DugwayDuke
No, but I also don’t believe we get to blow up ships and kill people from other nations because they are not our moral equivalent.
Or I should say that I believe it’s a rational argument to have about whether we have the right to blow up ships and kill people from other nations simply because they are not our moral equivalent — since the argument is Ron Paul’s, not mine, and I wouldn’t object to boarding the ship and confiscating the cargo, at least in my 5-second consideration of the issue.

Imagine, in one fell swoop Ron Paul has solved the problem of Iran developing nuclear weapons, let them buy them from North Korea!
Heck, we could sell them nukes.
Of course that would never happen, there were no North Korean nuclear components in Syria either, Israel was simply bombing for the fun of it.

OK, I just chose a country for effect, what if Russia or China had blown up our ship to “prevent the nuclear proliferation to a non-signatory”?
I think you understood my point. It’s not so much about moral equivalence as it is when do you draw the line between things you hate but have to permit, and things you get to stop from happening?
To: Extremely Extreme Extremist
Enjoy Paul's victory today in Iowa. Once again, no reply to the actual question/issue at hand. You simply attempt to deflect. Ron Paul's answer shows that he is clearly unqualified.
Will you still be contributing to Ron Paul's campaign after the Iowa results are released? Seeing how he is polling so well and all...
To: CharlesWayneCT
Imanutjob has said publicly on the record a minimum of five occasions he will end the existence of Israel, wipe it off the map, whatever phrase you want to call it. How would he does this? Should we take him at his word? If he acquires a nuclear weapon, ending Israel is a much easier task for him. Are you prepared to take that chance? What if he did acquire a nuke if Paul were President and he used it and destroyed Israel, what would you say then?

So you are saying Bush is the standard we should strive to achieve to? He flunks that standard big time too.

Cmon Doug. Why didnt we go after the Iranians who were crossing into Iraq? I just *love* this question coming from a Ron Paul supporter!
If you support Ron Paul then you know that Ron Paul would never have had troops in Iraq in order to confront the Iranians, yet you criticize Bush for not confronting the Iranians!
You are exposed as a hypocrite.
