In the abstract, you would be correct. In practice, our current foreign policy dabbles in evil far more than I can tolerate. We hold hands with Saudi royalty and permit their youth to come to America in droves, after the Royal Saudis have and continue to spend billions around the world constructing mosques. Mosques are being built by the hundreds here in America by Saudi money. We leave Pakistan alone, and bin Laden is probably comfortable in one of their underground networks. We force Israel to negotiate with terrorists, conceding hundreds of square miles of territory, to appease the Saudis and Arab Emirates. The list goes on and on. Our foreign policy is out of control.
It won't change with any of the "same as always in Iraq" candidates. They'll bring more of the same.

We’re winning ... as even Democrats have had to admit. I fail to see what is wrong with “more of the same” in a war that we’re winning.

Enemy of our enemy. We cannot slay all dragons at once ... so we prioritize. Saudi and Pakistan’s numbers will come up eventually ... but, for now, they’re being helpful enough to put a higher priority on Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan.
>> We force Israel to negotiate with terrorists, conceding hundreds of square miles of territory, to appease the Saudis and Arab Emirates.
Ron Paul himself wants to negotiate with terrorists. You’re supporting Paul because the US has “forced” Israel to do exactly what Ron Paul suggests that WE do? That doesn’t make sense.

Its this kind of nonsense that siphons any credibility that Paul may have had. Given all the good being done by the American Military in the name of American foreign policy, and all the evil being combated on a daily basis ... it is simply ludicrous to suggest that American foreign policy has an evil influence on the world.
The American military, and the actions it is currently involved in throughout the globe, are a net good. We’re winning ... evil is on the run in Iraq and Afghanistan. More of the same is a good thing.
