Sometimes I wish he was wrong.

Dr. Paul seems to believe everything happens in a vacuum, e.g. world peace awaits if only the US would withdraw all troops and close all US bases around the globe.

Still, a Congress filled with Ron Paul clones would be VASTLY superior to the sh*t we have now.

"In reality, those who repudiate a theory that they had once proposed, or a theory that they had accepted enthusiastically and with which they had identified themselves, are very rare. The great majority of them shut their ears so as not to hear the crying facts, and shut their eyes so as not to see the glaring facts, in order to remain faithful to their theories in spite of all and everything"

-Marcus Arthus, Philosophy of Scientific Investigation, 1921

No, that isn't his point at all. The point is we are bearing all the financial and human cost of something that isn't even appreciated by the world at large or our own citizens. When you hear him talk, he never even talks about this being the solution for "world" peace, just our peace. The world is the worlds problem. I still don't know his exact position of foreign affairs. I tend to think a little different than him on some issues. He has a VERY isolationist mentality at times, but as the old adage goes, keep your friends close and your enemies closer. To be a total recluse seems to invite certain disastrous alliances of evil.

That said, I think we can all be in agreement that Dr. Paul isn't a politician in the typical since, he is a person...the last person on capital hill.
