I mispoke. No unneccessary foreign entanglements.
Okay, but keep in mind that everyone has a different idea of what is necessary.
What, exactly, do you think will happen if we withdraw from the UN and NATO? I'm not even saying I agree with Paul on either issue, I'm just wondering what specific objections you have.
"Ron Paul wants to withdraw from the UN and NATO!!!"
...Is not a substantive criticism.
UN because as a powerful nation, we have a responsibility to have a say in world affairs. I don't particularly like the setup of the organization, but it's something that has the potential to make decisions to influence the whole world, and we're too big to pretend we aren't part of the whole world.
NATO because of strength in numbers. Washington may have warned against alliances, but that was before there were people who hates us merely for existing.
Yes, military (should other options like diplomacy not work). But I also said that we should not do it alone, but rather only when most of the world is on our side.You've answered nothing. What type of interference are you talking about? Be specific.
It's not supposed to be, I'm just explaining why I personally disagree with many of his policies."He just takes them too far."
