    Maybe that is what is behind the agenda of the so-called War on Terror so that the Taliban will continue to grow and destabilize the region in order to give the Western powers the excuse they need to keep doing whatever they choose...

    As much as I appreciate what Ron Paul is saying, he keeps couching the scenario as bulls in a china shop, as if they are stupid and do not mean it. So, I identify with his pointing out these facts (including withdrawal), but he cannot be that stupid to think they just do not know what they are doing.

    You nailed it Marion. The US war machine makes trillions if the war keeps going. They even call it the long war.
    Peace is bad for business. Those twisted greedy fucking monsters couldn't be happier
     
    V, I think Ron Paul knows it's a scam, at least part of him does  It's really unprecedented for any American politician to just come out and say that America and Obama are completely ruled by the military industrial complex,Big Corporate Business, the Banksters, and AIPAC!!!
    Kucinich has come close but such a blunt statement will simply end their career, don't you think?

    Well DJ, said in the correct venue with the proper exposure to the American people, will undo the course of this country's leadership. It is way past time for the American people to pull this fallacious structure down.
     
    Also, the repeated nonsense of Empire not being what the founding fathers (for the most part) wanted simply does not stand up to the facts from the beginning of this country. It does not matter how many times Ron Paul states "this is not what the founding fathers wanted." It makes you wonder what rock he has lived under his entire life, what type of education the man has, or if he has complete mental balance or not.

    I wish Paul or Kucinich would just say it come hell or high water.  Ron Paul is really a nice grandfatherly character and certainly no radical.
         I certainly agree with you about the founding fathers.  Alexander Hamilton used to say that "the purpose of goverment is to
    protect the opulent few from the majority." A better definition of an aristocracy or plutocracy would be hard to find.

    DJ, apparently they are of the opinion that "myths" are useful

    A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side.

    ron paul is a free market (except for in june 2004 when he voted for billions for corporate welfare) right wing nutcase riding on populist rhetoric. any man who is for markets and to privatize social security is an enemy to me. i dont care if he criticizes the taliban, obama, bush, WTO or the MIC.

    Yeah Truth addict I agree. Some of Paul's crticisms of American Empire are good but his libertarian "free market fundamentalism" is a dangerous fairy tale, and an ideology that is pretty much a religion to them. (i.e. "the magic of the market" or that the "invisible hand of the market will always be self regulating and self corrective").
          That's just dogma pure and simple.
