If I may be so bold as to be an univited guest-aide, or “amicus curiae” so-to-speak, to Ron Paul on his stance over the Iraq war.
With mixed feelings about McCain’s stance on the war, perhaps a different point of view besides that of Ron Paul might help change his mind. Charges of “flip-flopping” by either side are stupid. It’s called “change” based on changing circumstances.
A ringing in my ears (I’d rather be George) comes to mind. Bush, that is; thus the following:
Suppose the British or French or Spanish had taken steps to keep our Civil War off their shores and had joined the Confederates in the fight; what would the reactions of most Americans on both sides have thought after seeing their fellow Americans being killed by powers from abroad joining the fray?
That is, moderates of the south and north would see their fellow Americans, predominantly Christians, being killed by foreign powers; they could well move to radicalism, hating the latter more than the former.
Thus, what the “war” abroad may well do, is create more radicals from moderates, the latter seeing that fellow Islamics killed by foreign powers is not in the best interest of Islam, per se.
Thus, sentiments can change overnight, and a billion Islamics who can change viewpoints to become more unified under Allah over and above the considerations of their civil wars; might well lead to a deeper-seated hate for our nation than for each other.
Logic would seem to lead in such a direction unless there is a non sequiturial aspect to the above observation, opinion, and conclusion.
But how do we protect our shores? Perhaps pervasive air and naval maneuvers offshore, for 1,000 miles or so, might well set up a “wall” of defensive tactics while saving the lives of our military “in-training” perpetually until the “clear and present danger” subsides via the internal fighting results of the various factions of Islam are concluded.
Also, Europe, Russia, China, and Africa should take proper actions to be on higher alert than is our own nation in efforts to keep the Middle East civil wars contained within their own borders.
Negotiations should happen with our neighbors to the south and north while warning them that if North America falls, the “Domino Effect” will eventually take them, too. This should also be made clear.
I so opine and conclude on that major issue in agreeing with the Honorable Ron Paul.
