The proper term to use is not anti-war, but anti-interventionism and/or nation building. The 9/11 attacks changed this as a knee jerk reaction. Even Bush, in the runup to his first term, was anti-interventionist or in his case anti-nation building.

Sorry, but Code-Pink and the others he has aligned himself are Anti-War, that's why his a flaming nutcase.

Furthermore, given his recent statements about wars we have fought that he did not think were necessary and would resolve themselves (and right now I can't remember if that was the Civil War or WWII) it's really a moot point where nut-case Paul is concerned.

And what's really sad, is that Ron Paul knows better than to do stupid stuff like this.

He's been consistent on this matter for 50 years. He has never seen a war that I know of that he felt was worth fighting, unless the continental US were to be attacked by a armed force with tanks and such.

That is his view and he repeats it often. It is also the view of the oldtime Republican party core that opposed Korea, Vietnam and would if they still existed, Iraq and Afghanistan. Pat Buchanan is a good representation of that.
