What are you the FR referee?????

Fine, let us get back to the issue at hand then.

Perhaps in todays world of, well to tell it like it is, world occupation, we haven't a lot of choice in the matter of intervention. But in my fantasy world of withdrawl from our occupation (gradual of course) Dr. Paul's policy is valid, Constitutional, moral and sound.

And it irrationally presumes that everybody else will agree nicely to leave us alone. Neville Chamberlain's great mistake was in believing that Hitler was as interested in peace as he was.

But there are many other reasons than military intervention that makes bad guys hate us.

Here it is important to recognize that the 9/11 hijackers' (and Wahabi Islam's) primary complaint against us has mostly to do with American cultural influences. Other enmity is spurred by our economic dominance.

If a bad guy might want to hurt us because of our culture or economy, then either "neutrality" would also require us to keep our culture and economy within our own border, or we would still need to be ready to intervene against people who would attack us for non-military reasons.
