Good post. Saudi Arabia, through its funds and ideology, as well as egypt through its know how, were the two nations that caused us harm. The leadership in these two countries MUST be held responsible for causing a trillion dollar loss to our economy. Before we go hit on Sadam, because he is an easy target, we must take on the difficult ones, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Iran!!!!

Who the hell is Ron Paul and why should I care what he thinks?

Who must Ron Paul be in order for you to listen to him? A hockey player? A one-armed man? A philosopher-king?
In general, the reason to listen to people is that they might have interesting ideas. "Who they are" is not important.

It will, however, make us all less secure by antagonizing millions of Muslims who understand the necessity of our actions against Al-Queda, but who will object to an invasion of Iraq.This sentence makes me think that Congressman Paul has a dubious grip on reality.

"Who the hell is Ron Paul and why should I care what he thinks?" He is the only member of Congress who respects the Constitution.

Be wary of libertarians discussing foreign policy.

You should read some of his other thoughts on foreign policy. They will help you to understand why he should be booted out of office asap.

We, on the other hand, have bombed them, taunted them by flying military jets in their airspace, and starved them with economic sanctions- all for more than a decade. We have done no such thing, Saddam has. Under the sanctions he could sell oil and spend the money on food and medicine, as long as the UN conrrols the money to make sure it doesn't go to rebuilding his military. He has refused claiming that would be an "insult to the Iraqi people". He is callously killing his own people as emotional blackmail so that fools like Ron Paul will pressure for sanctions to be ended. He has not only rebuilt his 13 palaces destroyed during the Gulf War, but built 26 new ones. Meanwhile his WMD programs and connections to terrorist groups are well documented.
Saddam is a clear and present danger to both the US and out allies, even if Ron Paul is too blind to see it. Thank God George Bush isn't.

Undeclared wars represent one of the greatest threats to our constitutional separation of powers over the last 50 years, beginning with our "police action" in Korea. This sentence makes me think that Congressman Paul has a dubious grip on history. Undeclared wars are and have always been the rule, not the exception.

"we must follow the Constitution and require that the President secure a congressional declaration of war " Maybe he's just ignorant and doesn't mean to lie.
American politicians have really deteriorated since Adams and Jefferson passed away, now they'll say anything for money.

Be wary of people on FR who make silly statements about the only congressman in Washington who fights tooth and nail for a Constitutional Republic.Is this what FR is coming to?It seems like it lately.Many of the longtime freepers don't even post anymore and I wonder why.

Okay, so he's a congressman. I honestly have never heard of the guy before, and the article didn't identify him.
I still don't care what he thinks.

By the grace of the gods, he will be President in three years.
[I know, the gods are under non-compete agreements with major media corporations....]
