Plus every school kid knows you don't go around picking fights and talking smack when you can't back it up. Osama Bin Laden is free. Afganistan is sliding back into the hand of warlords, drug cartels, and the Taliban, and Iraq, which will end up costing the US over 3 trillion dollars (wanna know why the dollar is low?), will end up with a regime allied with Iran and largely hostile to US interests. Ron Paul has got this part right. His domestic and tax policies are typical of your southern republican hypocrite. Having ruined our government, they now use it's bloated disfunctionality as the reason to scrap it.
