Maybe you need to check out the world today too.
well, my point in posting those excerpts of George Washington’s farewell address was to suggest that the general stated principles could apply to the middle east today, and in fact, the past few generations of american ‘policy’ there. We’ve been supporting dictators, dumping American tax dollars and weapons there and backing differing factions in the constant ad hoc regional conflicts since the independence of those states.

there is some truth to the above video, IMO.
It is also somewhat illustrative, IMO, that the disagreements here on FR with Paul’s positions are, generally, limited to certain aspects of his foreign policy. I assume there is very little, domestically, Freepers would have against his record or policies. I happen to think domestic policy is more important than foreign.
