Uncalled for. The flag is waving, targets are up and you get Maggie's drawers. Paul does not want Americans to be the targets as nation builders.
That is a legit argument. But saying that AQ does not want us on the Arabian peninsula is the weakest possible argument imaginable.
I never got a Maggie’s drawers ... my aim and is straight and true ... Ron Paul is your Maggie’s drawers!
He just wants all Americans to be easy targets for terrorists at home and abroad.
No, not when we are such easier targets to hit if we are sitting around with our heads buried in the sand..
If I understand your post accurately, you don’t think our men should be nation building. Based on that premise, let me ask you a few questions.
Do you think we should have left Iraq as it was?
Was it okay for Iraq to kill off the Kurds?
Was it okay for Iraq to kill off people in it’s southern region also?
Was it okay for the Iraqi leadership to prevent all the girls from attending school.
Was it okay for the Hussein’s kids to torture and kill off Iraqis?
Was it okay for Hussein to pay out $25,000 to the families of suicide bombers in Israel?
Was it okay for Saddam to continue to stage his soldiers on the borders of neighbor states, as if preparing to invade? He had previously attacked four neighbor states, and had occupied one of them.
Was it okay for Hussein to cheer on those who carried out terrorism against us, and call for the destruction of the U.S.?
It would be impossible for anyone to claim there weren’t terrorists in Iraq, all the way up to and inclucing Hussein and his sons. So wasn’t it a good thing that we took them out?
I know there’s a claim that the U.S. shouldn’t be in this nation building business. Then who should be? In a world of expanding terrorism, who should and where should they decide to confront them?
Well, I guess that’s about it. In this shrinking world, just about any nation is a nation on our borders. I don’t think we can allow the terrorists to operate in a void, because they will fill that void. And if we just don’t want to take them on, then we just as well pull all our troups from around the world, all of our citizens too, and baracade our nation.
There goes trade. There goes travel. There goes our influence. There goes all the good we’ve achieved over the last 230 years. And sooner rather than later, there goes the homeland too. If the rest of the world is subject to evil taking over, then our nation couldn’t possibly stand.
If I misunderstood your comments, I appologize.
