We are in a different kind of war - THEY are at war with us. Ignoring it (as Clinton did), or treating it as a criminal matter and putting terrorists in American courts - got us 911. We are going to be at war as long as they are at war with us. Are we doing it perfectly? No - we’ve never fought a war like this before. But we got rid of Saddam and Osama bin Laden and killed a whole lot of Al Qaeda bastards. What would Ron Paul and his followers have us do, sit back and do nothing? Plead with Ahmadinajad to stop pursuing nukes? Ron Paul’s “leave me alone” philosophy is fine domestically but is dangerous when it comes to protecting this country. I wouldn’t vote for him under any circumstances.
