Iraq or the Economy?
73 Responsesby Ron Paul What is the importance of the war in Iraq relative to other current issues?

The difficulty with the way the question is often asked relates to the perception [...]

On Five Years in Iraq
Leave a responseby Ron Paul Five years ago last week, the US military’s “shock and awe” campaign lit up the Baghdad sky.

Interventionism? Isolationism? Actually, Both.
Leave a responseby Ron Paul Actually, both. A few months back, I wrote back-to-back weekly messages regarding globalism and isolationism. In writing those columns, I focused on the fact that our nation’s interventionist foreign policy was precisely what was isolating us from other countries. Turkey’s recall of their U.S. ambassador in the wake of last week’s resolution, [...]
