R.I.P. Scout26
Saw that too, Micro.I think Paul may end up taking some of the spotlight away from Newt, Romney and Perry for a bit here. If he wins Iowa, the media is going to have a VERY hard time ignoring him.
Ronnie got hammered on Iran by Bachman in last night's debate......oops.
Just donated $25 to Dr. Paul.'Splayn, plz.

The fact that the theaters of war we are in may well be the wrong ones or that our strategy is blind or warped does not mean we are not at war and don't need to react accordingly. Mr Paul's views on Islam are astoundingly naive, not to mention dangerous.
If we are in the wrong theaters and our strategy, up to date, is blind or warped the last thing we should be doing is opening up a new front in the same theater of war to continue pursuing the same old warped strategies.Sending more Americans into the meat grinder over contrived IAEA reports and "nuclear hysteria" not seen since the Cold War is what is really dangerous crazy. I thought we learned our lesson with Iraq and its imminent threat of "WMDs". Oh, but THIS time it's different, right? Why should we support a military agenda that will most likely lead us to a war several times worse than what we have seen in the last decade, bankrupting the Nation and sending thousands of American lives down the drain in the process? Not to mention wreaking economic chaos across the entire globe when oil supplies get compromised. Forget the whole "Islam is out to get us because we are free" argument because it doesn't withstand scrutiny.
No offence, but this is nonsense. Islam - even as a whole (ignoring for a moment the hateful split between Sunni and Shia, and taking the religion as a whole rather than just the Sunni Caliphal fundies like al-Q who are the ones who have actually done something) - poses at most about a thousandth of the danger that the Soviet Union posed, in terms of social appeal (given how many people are still communist despite everything), funding for non-friendly regimes and terror groups, the military threat and the risk to Western civilization as a whole. To try and make citizens of the most powerful nation on earth scared of this threat - which is what some people have been doing - is utterly irresponsible. In fact its only the complete weakness of almost every Islamic states that makes such agitation and subsequent action possible (which is of course the main reason why Iran wants the bomb in the first place).
Islam would not be a threat if The West were not collapsing from within on so many levels. Britain and America have given Islam its money, technology, and education, and seem hell-bent on conflating Islam with Leftism.
As you know, Micro, there are plenty of Muslims, many trained in the West, with advanced skills in mathematics, engineering, computer science, physics, chemistry, and biology.
Micro, you talk as if "radical Islamists" have no connections or support with major Islamic states. You really believe that? These, to you, are all unsophisticated freelancers within the Ummah?
