The Taliban could never take over our country, nor can any other country or coalition of countries do such, why? Because we have a strong defense, which Paul advocates, strong defense doesn't equal military interventionalism and nation-building. None of which we can afford anyways.
The moment the republican party gives me more than one fiscal conservative is the day I'll support more than one republican.
No one wants to invade us. This is where Paul and many of his supporters just don't seem to get it. We are facing a new type of enemy. Fighting over land has been left to the third world nations. Those who oppose us want only death and destruction. They don't need armies with boots on the ground to achieve their goals. 1 man/woman and one wmd is all it takes now. There is NO DEFENSE from this threat other than an offense to prevent the possibility from even happening.
We don't live in 1945 anymore.
There's always been people who want to kill us for us being us.
You know what the never ending war on terror has done? Created more people who want to kill us for us being us.
Hence why I don't support the Bush/Obama round the clock round the globe military intervention policy.
People have always wanted to cause mass destruction and death yes, but with nukes in the wrong hands they actually could.
As far as the Bush/Obama wars go I don't believe they've been conducted right or for the right reasons but that doesn't mean we let our guard down. It means we refine our practices and tactics.
