Neo-Con War Addiction Threatens Our Future

- Ron Paul -

There is much about Ron Paul that I like, but when he addresses foreign policy, the wheels come off the cart--and that is what hurts him and most Libertarians when seeking higher elected office. While conservatives can find much to agree with in the Libertarians approach to domestic affairs, crazy 'blame America first' or 'if we would only leave and/or be nice to to everyone, they would love us' talk is just plain stupid and uninformed. I'm no fan of William Kristol, and I could agree with pulling back with regard to our foreign affairs and military efforts (but not against Al Qaeda--they need to die WHEREVER they are found), the notion of 'Fortress America' as a way to advance our national interests is backward, dumb, ill-advised, and completely out of touch. As someone said years ago, "You might not be interested in war, but war is interested in you." It is best to be strong and ahead of curve. Kristol is right in that, ever since the end of WWII, we've wanted to win wars as conclusively and decisively as we did that war--but we don't want to kill our enemies as conclusively and decisively as we were more than willing to do back then. If you're not willing to rise to the same level of violence being employed against you by your opponent, then your opponent will win. Bottomline: running back home to Fortress America will not work. Ron Paul has great domestic ideas, but lapses off into crazy-talk and La-la land when it comes to foreign policy. Too bad.

According to Kristol, the troubles that have befallen us in the 20th century have all been the result of these periodic bouts of war-weariness, a kind of virus that we catch from time to time. He claims because of the US "drawdown" in Europe after World War... Read More
