Speech before the US House of Representatives, 02/12/09
Madame Speaker,
I have a few questions for my colleagues.
What if we wake up one day and realize that the terrorist threat is a predictable consequence of our meddling in the affairs of others?
What if propping up repressive regimes in the Middle East endangers both the United States and Israel?
What if occupying countries like Iraq and Afghanistan - and bombing Pakistan - is directly related to the hatred directed toward us and has nothing to do with being free and prosperous?
What if someday it dawns on us that losing over 5,000 American military personnel in the Middle East since 9/11 is not a fair trade-off for the loss of nearly 3,000 American citizens, no matter how many Iraqi, Pakistani, and Afghan people are killed or displaced?
What if we finally decide that torture, even if called enhanced interrogation techniques, is self-destructive and produces no useful information - and that contracting it out to a third world nation is just as evil?
What if it is finally realized that war and military spending is always destructive to the economy?
What if all wartime spending is paid for through the deceitful and evil process of inflating and borrowing?
What if we finally see that wartime conditions always undermine personal liberty?
What if conservatives, who preach small government, wake up and realize that our interventionist foreign policy provides the greatest incentive to expand the government?
What if conservatives understood once again that their only logical position is to reject military intervention and managing an empire throughout the world?
What if the American people woke up and understood that the official reasons for going to war are almost always based on lies and promoted by war propaganda in order to serve special interests?
What if we as a nation came to realize that the quest for empire eventually destroys all great nations?
What if Obama has no intention of leaving Iraq?
What if a military draft is being planned for the wars that will spread if our foreign policy is not changed?
What if the American people learn the truth: that our foreign policy has nothing to do with national security and that it never changes from one administration to the next?
What if war and preparation for war is a racket serving the special interests?
What if President Obama is completely wrong about Afghanistan and it turns out worse than Iraq and Vietnam put together?
What if Christianity actually teaches peace and not preventive wars of aggression?
What if diplomacy is found to be superior to bombs and bribes in protecting America?
What happens if my concerns are completely unfounded - nothing!
What happens if my concerns are justified and ignored - nothing good!

If only a small % of the money invested in all these wars were used to help these countries build schools, hospitals, productive farms etc. No one would think about sending and airplane on a US building. If i punch you, you will hate me and want to punch me as well. But if i help you, you wont hate me for helping you, at least if you're not a complete retarded moron hehe.
How's your change working out so far? The dumbing down of America got us BHusseinO, when, you brain-dead, welfare desiring bums, should of been listening to a true Patriot...Dr. Ron Paul..God Bless Ron Paul for trying to wake the dead. God save America!
Amen. My mom said she would've voted for him if she thought people would vote for him. Well what if a lot of people had been thinking the same thing? What would've happened if people chose to do the right thing instead of the easy thing and following the trends? Those are big questions. I say we either need to impeach Obama for being a bad president and replace him with Ron (after all, the peoples voice is supposed to decide isn't it) or we need to start a new revolutionary war on the govt.
