Ron Paul is a very nice old man and sincere in his beliefs
His problem is he can't break from strict libertarianism. There are some issues where libertarianism makes sense. Others where you have to be bat shit crazy to think like a libertarian. Paul's views on foreign policy are just plain crazy and prevent him from being taken seriously
We are not supposed to be fighting wars on an offensive basis. That's all he is trying to stop. We were never meant to occupy the world. We can still maintain our national defense without having 900 military bases around the world.
We have to go where the terrorists are and hit them where they are hiding. It has been very effective
Paul wants to pull back and let them do what they may
