I admire Ron Paul, and i consider my self a non-interventionist as well.. but i agree with Alan Keyes here... Once you are in a battle, you have to finish as quick as possible and win it.. Btw, i think people mis-understand the work of America's army... They are helping people, and destroying dictators, and the world is still mad at America, but when Haiti needs the help, then America is no longer the bad guy... Its so stupid.. I think America sacrificed her self enough to the world already.

@remyllebeau77 Exactly. Ron Paul has it right. The war on terror is breeding more fucking terrorist! You cannot control the world there will always be bad guys. We need to protect America

more neocon garbage. Sad coming from Keyes.

Alan Keyes and Ron Paul are different but they share a lot of common ground. They should've run together.

@FaithlessLiberty And why are they cooperating with certain countries that have dictators, such as Saudi Arabia, or Syria?

[Centennial107]

@FaithlessLiberty Destryoing dictators? If the Bush Administration ordered the Invasion of Iraq on humanitarian grounds, why didn't they invade Liberia, when Charles Taylor was in power? Why didn't they invade Sierra Leone, while the RUF was in power? Why didn't Bush EVER invade Zimbabwe, Somalia, or Kenya? Also, WHY DIDN'T HE EVER INVADE NORTH KOREA? ALL THESE COUNTRIES HAVE BEEN IN A HUMANITARIAN CRISIS FOR LONGER THAN IRAQ, BUT THE US DIDN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT THEM.

Western Nazis should understand that Iraq is not only Muslim country.

Tar baby strategy? Racist.

@FaithlessLiberty It's impossible for us to finish our mission in Iraq or the ME in general, "as quickly as possible." There hasn't been peace in the ME for the past 300 years, it's ridiculous to think that we can within a couple decades, much less years.

Their problem is a cultural problem and you sure as hell cannot fix a cultural problem with guns and bombs.

And to address the ASAP policy, McCain thinks it'll take at least 100 years.

I think this is the only man who i feel can respectfully disagree with Ron Paul..and yet, he's a lot like him. Both men are doctors, they've worked close to/under Pres. Reagan, and most importantly both are champs of the U.S. Const. My choices for President in 2012 are very narrow at the moment, but I'm more convinced now that a Paul-Keyes administration would be perfect. Yep..that's my Dream Team :).

@FaithlessLiberty What exactly do you mean by finish or win it? WTF are we winning here? What constitutes a win there? Destroying the taliban? They are no threat to us here. They have no navy, no army, no marines, no planes, no ships. Sealing off the borders would be more than adequate. There will ALWAYS be terrorist, and there will always be terrorism. There always have and always will be. This government wants you to live in fear that a boogey man terrorist are around every.
