Is Ron Paul's foreign policy brilliant?

Ron Paul believes that if you hit someone they'll want to hit you back. Pretty simple. This is based on CIA research on "blow back."

Regarding Bin Laden, he thinks we should have gone in immediately and gotten him instead of invading Iraq. How is that crazy?

And he feels that it's best if we build relationships with other countries instead of policing them.

What do you think of his foreign policy?

    Yes, whats so hard about putting america first, and quit with the entangling alliances and preemptive strikes on nations that have done nothing to us. Let congress declare war, follow the constitution.

    Simply put, yes. It's unfortunate that America is being swayed to believe that we must attack much of the world and assert our dominance in order to be safe. That has already been proven wrong. I see no greater threat to our National Security than to continue with our current foreign policy. It would do America significant good to adopt another policy; one focused on peace and taking care of ourselves for a while. Once we have helped America to her feet and she can stand on her own, should we start helping others.

    Yes, it's extremely brilliant.... that's the way it should be.

    @JP... where the f*ck has meddling in other coutries' affairs gotten us really? It is not naive thinking, it's logical f*cking thinking. Along with the corrupt Federal Reserve we keep printing and making ourselves poorer. America does not believe in living within our means anymore! America will pay for that false ideology! America will get weaker because it will bankrupt itself! China will then become the most powerful, god i hope! And when America tries to fight back, I will defect and fight against my own! To express the hate and discontent for what this disgrace of a country has really become!

    Think about it..... Egypt defaulted... that is where the U.S. is headed... quite comical..

    Thumbs down all you want, won't change your fate one bit....

    Anything Ron Paul says is rubbish. If you take a look at his record you will see that he talks big, but when the rtole call comes he consisitently toes the official republican line.

    his foreign policy is pretty simple and correct...but the special interests are running the show,

    remember...the taliban offerred up OBL 3x to GWB..bush refused because they wanted him put on trial and Bush wouldnt allow that...so he attacked the taliban instead

    Ask the people on the ground.. Soliders donate to this guy more than anyone else. Nothing else to say...

  • I like it, but it seems that most Americans believe we should bomb first and ask questions later.

    I think Ron Paul is a senile old fool.

    I think it's simplistic, wishful thinking that appeals primarily to the young and naive.
