I wanted to challenge him further over Iran's stated goal of destroying Israel, but I was apparently cut off by the host and couldn't do it.

Too bad. I wonder what his answer would be if Iran had used those missiles to destroy Israel. Would he retaliate then? Or would he only act if they targeted us?

Ron Paul is a “non-interventionalist”.

” I wonder what his answer would be if Iran had used those missiles to destroy Israel. “

Hands folded; “They didn’t hit us. It’s none of our business.” It’s absolutely consistent with everything I’ve seen about Ron Paul. He’s still living in that Special Wonderland of Isolationism that only childish magical thinking can sustain. It’s grossly irresponsible.

Good job, Doug. Campaigns are for finding out where candidates really stand. Now a lot more people know.

That would doubtless depend on whether or not he determined we had provoked them by our presence in the Persian Gulf.
