Wow, Sir, your views are just awesome & patriotic!
We need a few more with this opinion in our Country, & legislature!
After all this hogwash we deal with everyday, listening to the so-called experts, reading your blogs are a pleasure.
Like going back to school when we were taught the great American values?
Like reading about Washington, Jefferson, James Bowie & Davie Crockett!
Where is that spirit?
Oh well, keep it up dude--you got one fan!

This is a Ron Paul site. the non-interventionist foreign policy is a good thought or idea in theory but it is much much to late for that! I possibly would be able to embrace that kind of policy if we had not already used a nuclear device on japan and if we did not have so many nations bent on our destruction....including many on our own soil.If we did not have an Iran or syria or places like that where evil resides.Ron Paul is a good man I am fairly sure but,He seems as though he might be a little soft on this area.I still would consider Him as we definely need people who genuinely love their country and mankind in general.I think Ron Paul was a doctor-surgeon.

Correct, it is a Ron Paul lead campaign.

I do not think it naïve to transition to a different foreign policy. I would agree that it would take some diplomatic conversation and more; we, the USA, has to apologize for sticking our nose where it did not belong. This is the same manner of effort you might expect if you had infringed on your neighbor’s property and argued your right to be on their soil. Prideful actions on the part of the USA have put us into a position where we have some crow to eat,

In Plato’s Republic a community is used to examine the actions of an individual, here I think there is the same kind of correlation. If we study relationships of an individual we can extrapolate the relations of nations. We find the same kind of dysfunctional relationships between nations as we have between family members and neighbors. I believe we have some enabling and co-dependant relationships as a nation where it will hurt socially and economically as we realign our roles and responsibilities.

There will be conflict as we go through discovery and healing. Healing will not occur without such conversations to reveal hurt that exists. In my opinion, this is why we have so many who are angry, frustrated and lashing out at our country. We are the overbearing “big” sibling in the telling others what is good for them while seeking our own best interest rather than modeling the freedoms we preach.

This is a complex discussion for such limited format.
