Good Morning PlainOl,
Your Wiki article is thoughtful, and usually I don't use Wiki for examples of political theory.
I have no hatred of Islam. I have studied Islam, long before the September 11, 2001 tragedy, and I understand the threat that Islam and its leadership poses to the world. Again, Dr. Paul indicated last night that he doesn't understand this threat. There was one comment he made about how Islam doesn't attack Switzerland or Sweden......I broke out laughing!
In a perfect world, Dr. Paul's logic is.....Logical. Unfortunately, Dr. Paul is just flat out naive regarding foreign policy and world affairs.
I am rushed this morning, but I will follow up with examples of what I speak of, and attempt to demonstrate why the term "Neo-Con" is so misplaced by Ron Paul and his misinformed supporters.
