I have a question here, probably for tomorrow if anyone comes by this thread then, as it is very late tonight:
Is it my imagination, or is Ron Paul AFRAID of Iran, in much the same way many Euro pols were afraid of Hitler in the 1930’s? They could have stopped him, but were afraid it’d be costly / messy, not realizing how much worse it would be, soon enough.
I don't think so. He's too old to be afraid of anything anymore :) IMO, he's just a naive isolationist. Which is really too bad because a lot of his domestic positions are spot on. He's best when he's channeling von Mises and Hayek, and discussing monetary policy and Austrian Business-Cycle Theory.
