Jeg ELSKER Ron Paul. Eller rettere jeg elsker hans retorik. Han er Republikaner og er en af kandidaterne til præsidentvalget i 2008. Han kommer ikke til at vinde, men han er simpelthen for sej. Jeg har postet video med ham før. Denne opsumerer hans politiske karriere de sidste 5 år. Han er ultraliberal, og på mange måde så langt væk fra den ny-konservative politik som man kan være.
Se det her. Han er det nye lakrids.
Og her er to gode citater om Irakkrigen fra Ron Paul:
They attack us because we've been over there. We've been bombing Iraq for 10 years. We've been in the Middle East [for years]. I think [Ronald] Reagan was right. We don't understand the irrationality of Middle Eastern politics. Right now, we're building an embassy in Iraq that is bigger than the Vatican. We're building 14 permanent bases. What would we say here if China was doing this in our country or in the Gulf of Mexico? We would be objecting.
I believe very sincerely that the CIA is correct when they teach and talk about blowback. When we went into Iran in 1953 and installed the Shah, yes there was blowback. The reaction to that was the taking of our hostages, and that persists. And if we ignore that, we ignore that at our own risk. If we think we can do what we want around the world and not incite hatred, then we have a problem. They don't come here to attack us because we're rich and we're free, they come and attack us because we're over there
