I don’t know many adults who say they ignore the problem and hope it goes away. Most would probably confront it head on.
The Ron Paul Doctrine when it comes to foreign policy is, in a nutshell, “Ignore the problem and hope it goes away”
In an increasingly globalized world, with the US as the sole superpower, that just ain’t gonna work.
One of the problems with the American mindset is that when things are done, they must be done NOW. We could set plans in motion that would timebomb the economy of these despotic sheikdoms. We could ruin them while assuring our own security, economically.
