Whatever you think about Ron Paul, SmartMuffin, Republicans, whatever:
To put it simply Glenn, we’re tired. We’re tired of the constant deployments. We’re tired of seeing our brothers and sisters come back with missing limbs, impaired vision, crippling PTSD, and even worse, not coming back at all. Now that Iraq is finally drawing to a close, it seems that both Democrats and mainstream Republicans such as Romney and Santorum are beating the drum for Iran. There is no doubt in my mind that Iran is a dangerous and evil regime. But we simply cannot afford to constantly be fighting wars with every dangerous and evil regime in the world. When does it stop? How many years will our fighting men and women be embroiled in another quagmire in Iran? Once that is “done” (to the extent that these things are ever really “done), where will it be next? North Korea? Somalia? Venezuela? There are always more evil regimes in the world. Do you honestly envision some future date where the President of the United States will walk out and say, “That’s it everyone! We’ve killed ALL the terrorists. America is finally totally safe now. There is no more evil in the world and our troops can now stay home and actually concentrate on defense instead of aggression.” Personally, I do not think that day will ever come. Ron Paul recognizes this, and the troops agree with him. Enough is enough. How many dead soldiers will it take to finally convince the political class that these wars are just not worth it?
There shouldn't be a damn person in the U.S. that disagrees with this.
