I heard him say Iran was not a threat to other nations. That bit of ignorance was enough to prove the Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
The question, in regard to Ron Paul, was about whether Iran would be more of threat if they develop the bomb. And as counter-intuitive as it may seem, I think RP is right. If Iran develops a nuclear capability, assuming they haven't already, it will make them less of a threat, not more.
The biggest problem we have right now with the middle east is a perceived gulf in power. The people there feel utterly powerless and that leads to the kind of extremism that fuels terrorism. Terrorism doesn't spring from strong nations with strong defenses. It's borne of the opposite.
In any case, we're going to see Paul hammered on this tonight and in the coming weeks. I've been surveying some of the news media this morning and the set up is in gear. RP is finally seen as a threat and the establishment drones are going to hit him hard. He'll be attacked on his stated policies, and on the spurious 'whispering campaigns' trying to tie him to conspiracy groups, racists claims, etc, etc... It will kick in full gear soon.
