The parenthetical in your title is yours and is an interesting conclusion. The Paul Libertarian take on the state of affairs is that the US sticking its nose in everything is the genesis of all the Mid-east problems. Engagement is the solution which is why Rand endorsed Obama’s Cuba policy. Unfortunately, he tied his wagon to Obama which gives up everything to engage which in the end is capitulation.
I didn’t understand the reasoning of this writer regarding Ron Paul; however, he wisely did not intimate that the Republican leadership would do anything about this, would take any kind of stand. A few like Ted Cruz will be principled on this issue, and it stops there. Anyone paying attention knows the leadership and most of the little minions in the Republican Party are in bed with Obama— maybe literally. Their behavior makes no other kind of sense. They certainly don’t care about the country or their constituencies.
WWIII
David Frum. Consider the source.
I don’t think there will be any tangible or concrete difference in this matter based on a future president. The rest is ‘feel good’ stuff and making us feel we are somewhat in control.
Oh what a pickle predicament Rand Paul has got himself into with his father’s strange ideology and now he has to appear conservative and pander to the conservative base to be against the Iran nuclear deal.
