When I was stationed in Camp Bucca detainment facility in Iraq, though, and I talked to self admitted terrorists about why they hate America, their answers usually were something along the lines that Americans were too intrusive on foreign soil. Scaling back on overseas bases and wars then, most likely, would soften foreign aggression in the first place. It also might increase the ability of armed forces to respond to crisis at home with more manpower, weapons, and equipment, in effect creating a maximum amount of readiness. We could also maintain a less intrusive presence by making port in foreign bases (as opposed to indefinitely occupying parts of countries with far flung American military bases). There are also various nations like Sweden with tiny defensive armies and a policy of neutrality that trade expansively with many nations throughout the world without many Captain Jack Sparrows (sorry, just watched one of those movies) stealing their stuff. I think Ron's ideas make sense, but I'm not a very politically minded guy and don't know a whole ton about stuff. I think neutrality would be worth a try, though. At least Ron is stimulating intellectual debate about actually making a real change, which is the best thing for us now.

But, are you willing to wait until they're on our shores before practicing a minimal amount of readiness? Also, in order to accomplish open trade with other nations we have to provide at least some sort of protection as these goods move. Who will want to export from here if pirates steal the fruits of their hard work with no recourse. I hope we would not open up a need for an expanded UN role.

Look at a list at all the terrorist attacks that have killed Americans from the 1980's onward. Beirut. Kenya. Tanzania. Somalia. The USS Cole, off the coast of Saudi Arabia. What Dr. Paul is saying is that bringing our boys home will not only beef up our national defenses, it will stop pissing everyone else off, and we will in effect be a harder target to hit and a less desirable target to hit. Sounds good to me. With all due respect-
