Ron Paul voted FOR the operations in Afghanistan for example. However, that doesn’t justify “nation building” in Afghanistan or pre-emptive war in Iraq through the lens of the Social Contract.

Ron Paul did vote for that measure. However the resolution said nothing about 'building democracy' in Afghanistan.

Mission creep has started to turn that conflict into something that looks a hell of a lot like Vietnam.

I agree, that’s why I said the resolution doesn’t justify “nation building” in Afghanistan.
