So are you part of the "Ron Paul Revolution"? Why are you supporting him? What are local people doing to support him?

Ron Paul would be a good President if he had a different take on the Iraq war. I would vote for him, but a President putting his head in the sand about terrorism, would only lead to another 9/11. If Ron Paul came out and pledged to go after terrorists and the countries that harbor them, I would vote for him, despite having 2 first names. But the terrorism issue is the biggest threat to our nation right now and to ignore it is very dangerous to our freedom.

There's a lot to like about Ron Paul and I totally agree we had no right going into Iraq and anyone with any grasp of Middle East issues could have predicted what has happened, BUT the nagging question I have is now that we've screwed the country over, how can we just pull out? Obviously, no one has a crystal ball. Perhaps it will be worse if we stay because we're just fueling more terrorism. But what will happen to fill the power void if we leave? If Iraqis hate us know for what we've done to their country, what will they think if there is even more death and massacres in our absence? Ron Paul does make a good point though about how the same people who said it would be a cakewalk going into Iraq are the same people predicting terrible doom if we pull out.

On the whole terrorism thing, shakopee11 is right. We are so unsecure at home. People  known to have terrorist ties cross the Canadian border regularily into our country- - and those are people that border guards identify coming in, but can't stop them from crossing. Can you imagine how many could be coming in illegally across our northern border or through the very porous Mexican border? Or with valid visas from other countries?

I think we should focus on strengthening our home defense, and being more careful about whom we let into this country. I think getting into other countries' business just escalates the terrorism threat.
