"I am not riping into Ron Paul I am merely saying that my views are different than his (and yours)on foreign policy and strong enough to consider other people for president despite the many things I agree with him about"

Ok fair enough, so which hawkish president's foreign policy do you agree with?

"Since your paying so much attention do you agree with his other views(not including foreign policies?)."

By in large no, i admire his principles, but they are not my principles. Although i still agree with mANY his policies, particularly on limited goverment, destroying the FED etc.

"just because someone reiterates your opinion doesn't mean their right."

I am well aware of that, and i wouldn't exactly say he re-iterated my opinion either he merely espoused truths which has been intentionally kept from the american people, i mean really, saying that Al Quida targtes the US because the US occupies muslim land, has military bases there, installs brutal regimes and corrupt dictators to enslave poor resource rich (normally oil but not exclusively) nations, and has killed more muslims in the last 10 yrs than all the american ever killed in foreign wars, saying this the reason they have come under attack from terrorism is not a controversial statement unless you live on another planet like so many Us republicans.

You might think this is an opinion to be deabted but Ron Paul (and anyone who isnt deluding themseves) knows better, he said it himself: "they have been explicit (crowd booing furiousl not wanting to beleive him), im just trying to get you to understand what the motive for the bombing was"

"I think he believes we shouldn't be involved with other countries because we would be inevitably influencing their way of life for good or bad"

Well you are involved in otehr countries, and not for their betterment, and not for your (or any other americans) national security. You like to pretend that your the good guys but the facts tell a very different story, if WW3 happens i have no doubt it will be due to US (maybe Isreali) agression, and that isn't because of some inherent bias, the Iran situation could get out of hand very quickly.

"I understand this is part of his core libertarian values but I don't think that its a realistic approach to some potential and current conflict/problems."

And what is exactly?

You think what your country has done, and is doing is the solution, do you have any idea what your country is doing, its building a missile "defense" (notice inverted commas) shield in Russia's backyard, likewise in Australia, and Okinawa (aimed at China).

Russia has said if it is really a defense shield they will be invloved in its construction, the US has refused this, who are they trying to kid, ya im building this big missile system all around your backyard, buts itf for your defense, absolute bullshit.

America is trying to contain Russia and China, when the USSR fell the US occupied an unrivaled position of power in the world but in recent years that power has begun to wain, and it has become clear that the US empire, sometimes referred to as the ivisible empire is very much in decline, if the US does anything drastic to hold onto the power that is inexorably slipping from their hands i have no doubt WW3 will become a realistic scenario.
