Good Interview with Ron Paul

http://www.nhpr.org/audio/audio/ex-2007-06-05.wax

Do you think his ideas are outdated, bizarre, or worth a try?

Questions for the Ron Paul fans: People like Ron advocate pulling American troops out of Iraq and everywhere else where they're stationed "promoting democracy". Would this really lead to better relations and less anagonism with those countries? Would Iraqies be happy with Americans leaving their country in ruins?

Also, if America doesn't keep an eye on the world, what's to stop rogue states from acquiring nuclear weapons and using them on us without us even being aware of the threat.

Lastly, when people speak of a completely free market unencumbered by government intervention, does that mean getting rid of things like the FDA and other regulatory bodies that supposedly ensure that the products we eat are safe etc.
