That may be true, but I agree with Paul when he talks about our plans for Iraq, and establishing huge permanent presence in the middle east... in other words, doing the same kind of thing that galvanizes and incites the radicals to hate us in the first place. He's the only candidate I see out there, addressing it from this perspective.
The other thing he talks about, is how we continually interfere with Israel and their politics. Left to their own devices, theres a good chance they would have solved many of the problems in the middle east on their own already.
Since war was never declared in Iraq, he could pull out the troops like someone else said. But then it would be congresses responsibility to actually declare war, and then he would have no choice but to execute and carry out congress's declaration.
