We should all begin to ask ourselves two serious questions. The first is, can we afford this drain on our national economy? The second, a two point question is, should the United States be the worlds policeman, and is it possible and in fact likely in our efforts to do so we have alienated many because of our interventionist policies."<br /><br />I must confess, especially as a vet who has seen time outside of the US, that I have oft wondered the same things.

Yemen is a failing state that will eventually see a stampeding exit of terrorist rats when it collapses, but there is nothing we can do to stop it. There's nothing positive to work with there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-65174811559384837012010-01-12T02:50:54.304-05:002010-01-12T02:50:54.304-05:00Ron Paul has a great respect for our Constitution....Ron Paul has a great respect for our Constitution. I believe he would have mad an outstanding leader of the free world.<br /><br />Yes they are few rationally thinking and honest politicians.
