   Ron Paul on Face the Nation…

   Congressman Ron Paul appeared on “Face the Nation” this morning. In recent weeks, the old media has been treating Dr. Paul with noticeably more respect than they used to. As you’ll see here, some of the questions have absurd premises, but they’re …

   Not bad by RP’s standards, but I hope that interviewers begin to press him for more details on the Iran question. I know he has a lot more to say on the topic, and people need to hear it from him in order to overcome the impression that some may have that he’s simply naive and ‘hoping for the best’. He has a pretty solid knowledge of the dynamics in the Middle East and he needs to demonstrate that to people.

   I have to agree with David. The ‘big fear’ the neos have is that Ahmadinejad will nuke Israel, even though Israel has had nukes since the early 1970s and some form of Star Wars for several years. So why would Iran want to commit suicide? They wouldn’t, which is why Ahmadinejad is just a hot airbag, though one we created by invading Iraq. Indeed, if we end up with a nuclear Iran, we have no one to blame but ourselves. After all, if you saw Saddam get overthrown precisely because he NO LONGER had even the biochem WMD we sold to him because he’d really been stupid enough to destroy them, why, oh why, wouldn’t you get some nukes of your own? I’d be surprised if we don’t see a nuclear Nepal and Bhutan in a few years - not so they nuke each other, but to defend themselves against the USA or other potential nuclear aggressors (e.g., India, China).

   What you guys forget is that we shouldn’t be micromanaging the Middle East situation. If Iran is a threat to Israel, than they should work it out. The US has been taking sides in this conflict for too long. We need to stop sending money to these countries. We are not the policemen of the world. We need to make sure that all US citizens have the interests of the US first - not the interests of Israel, Mexico, Cuba or some other country. The US needs to stop being the proxy of non-Americans. The US is being manipulated by non-Americans to adopt foreign policies that are not in the interests of America. This needs to stop.
