Kind of like this video where he is taking all the credit:

No, like the video the night this all went down when he claimed, "I did this" and "I did that" .... as I referred to the in the first post. Go youtube it, you'll find it
We're spending billions of dollars for a "war" JUST so the international banks can profit from the drug money being created by the increase in opium traffic from Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, we put people in jail in the US for smoking a doobie.
The "war on terror" is really a "war OF terror", and the REAL terrorists are not men in funny hats living in caves--they are Ivy-league Brooks-Brothers suit-wearing sociopaths living in multi-million-dollar mansions.
This isn't a "left/right" issue. It's a TRUTH and LIBERTY issue.
Ah yes, I see now. Methinks the TRUTH is, you've been taking a little too much LIBERTY with that doobie you mentioned
I have no information that Dr. Paul is isolationist. As far as I know he is very supportive of being on good terms with the rest of the world through trade.
I was referring to isolationism more in the sense of non-interventionism, I suppose. Y'know, the "world cop" thing.
As for the Ron Paul quote. I agree that it wasn't "necessary" but that doesn't mean we shouldn't have done it. I don't think we should be over there, but as we are there I don't see any reason to not take out people such as Osama. I just wish the U.S. could quit playing the role of "world police."
If the Britain (the superpower at the time) had been more willing to play "world police" circa 1938, 13+ million Jews, Catholics, Homosexuals, etc, might have lived to see 1945. I think the "world cop" bit is cop-out. Being the superpower means occasionally stepping in other places in order to protect national interests or avert a greater crisis. The "government" of Afghanistan at the time gave aid and refuge to the planners and perpetrators of 9/11, bin laden himself included. And would have continued to do so, had we not stepped in. We're still there in order to prevent the same or similar rulers from taking the place back over.
