A post by Eric21ND Ron Paul Forums sums up the best arguments I’ve seen for Ron Paul’s foreign policy. It is clear and concise.

That war isn’t about protecting the country…if it was why to all the other candidates leave our borders wide open? If you want to protect our country secure our borders first not other countries. Ron Paul’s plan would protect our country in several different ways, instead of getting side tracked into nation building. He keeps his eye on the ball and would hunt down our real enemies. Tell your co-worker you hunt down terrorists with good police work, world cooperation, and the special forces…not rolling out the tanks like its WW II. That’s how we caught Ramse Usef. At the sametime by focusing in on our enemies we cut down on killing innocent people and occupying countries which incites the next generation of terrorists. It’s a multi front approach Paul would take. Think of terrorists as a fly and Bush policy is to take the biggest sledge hammer you find to try to kill it…bottom line the fly is too fast and gets away. Paul’s approach would be to use a swatter, fly paper, and to shut the screen door.

Summary:

1. Our borders are wide open so how serious are these candidates about or security really?

2. Paul wouldn’t get distracted by nation building other countries and would focus on real threats.

Bravo sir.
