    Am I now a tin foil hat wearer?

    No, I wouldn't say that.

    I like Ron Paul's thoughts on foreign policy but domestically not even close. That being said, if Ron Paul got the nomination - which he has absolutely no shot in at - I'd vote for him over Obama based on foreign policy since Obama can't get done at home anyway.
    And Ron Paul would do a few things at home better than Obama anyway. I think if Paul were president the out of control corporate subsidization in this country would come to an end.

    You know the GOP attacks Obama for his support of Israel so this should kill Paul's chances.

    Paul winning wouldn't make a difference. You still need a non-corrupt Congress. Good luck with that.

    I agree, but at the same time the U.N. shouldn't be restricting what military action Israel can take. Let them duke it out on their own and watch Israel whip its neighboring countries.

    To a point, I agree.

    The problem is, Israel would be -whipping them with US weapons systems, funded by the US via international welfare.

    We give Israel money to buy our . To be more clear, the government (ie taxpayers) give Israel money to buy from "our" military suppliers (ie private corporations).

    Its basically a money laundering scheme perpetrated by the (summoning boutons here) MIC and the oh-so-willing-for-a-handout Israelis.

    I would cut Israel off from US funding immediately but keep the UN pressure on them for a few years. Then let the dog off the leash once its well known that we arent funding them anymore and havent been for awhile. Still the same guns, but perception is reality.

    The other concern is that Israel would probably level the entire area. I'm not sure they would even bother with conventional warfare. Just drop the nukes and cleanse. And I think we can for the most part agree that's not really a solution.

    I have always liked Paul. I will say again, my only concern is I think he is too lax with the way he would use the military.

    I think he'd use it every time it is (in his view) cons utionally warranted to do so.

    ie. When Congress declares war.

    You're a constructionist, aren't you?

    It's not our military spending that's bankrupting us. It's the uncontrolled social spending and uncontrolled exportation of blue collar jobs. As for murdering innocent civilians, not as reported, but sure, some innocent casualties always happen in war.

    Lining the pockets of the corrupt?

    Is that why we are helping in Libya?
    It's not nearly black and white either...military spending is a big part of the debt and there's nothing to indicate that will be decreased as significantly as it should. There's no reason to spend as much money on our military that all other countries in the entire world combined spend. I think it's safe to say Americans are going to be safe at home if we completely pull out of the M.E. and decrease military spending in general. There is no reason to have enough nukes to torch the whole surface area of Earth 100 times.

    No, it isnt. Ive never encountered an actual Israeli, Ive never been to Israel, I do not know much about their politics or their intentions.

    But I just cant think they would go straight to nukes.

    If they did, if anyone did, because of the global impact nuclear weapons have what with the winds sprinkling radiation on San Francisco from Japan, I'd war-dec and curb stomp them.

    The only reason Israel doesn't do as they please militarily is, as DoK said, politics. You remove that barrier and IMO, there's no reason to limit the intervention. But perhaps I'm just misguided.
