We also forget that Bill Clinton dropped more bombs on Iraq than the first gulf war. We also forget we are under real no terrorist threat at all. Ask a random person in the inner city what they are more scared of, a cop or a terrorist. Guess their answer.
We do gain more in peace than war and this is coming from someone who was pro-war against Iraq and had family from Iraq.

I never said he would use the codes....and maybe I should have used another analogy so that you wouldn't have gone off on a war tangent there.
The knock on Ron Paul is that he doesn't look or sound "presidential". People don't see him as a "strong leader".
It's shallow and unfair but that's just the way it is.
