And that was actually me posting above... under Andrea's name by accident. She wanted to make it clear she wasn't the weirdo.

We're all weird, Jake. And good guess, but not even close.

Jon, i'll be the first to say that I like Ron Paul. However.. that being said. What do you think about his foreign policy stance concerning the middle east? Does it not worry you that Iran has threatened to start the next world war in essence? this is the only thing that bugs me about Ron Paul. Pacifism in our recent history would have surely had us goosestepping to the sounds of "Horst Wessel". Ie- Marching music of the Nazis.. Just a thought:)

From steve ash on Fri, Oct 21, 2011 at 00:39:28 from 24.10.169.210

That one would worry me a bit if he were elected. Otherwise... I agree with almost everything he stands on.

From Jon on Fri, Oct 21, 2011 at 07:38:09 from 74.177.82.194

Marci's second guess is closest, but not right yet.

Steve- good question. In my opinion, though, Iran hasn't really threatened to start any wars. Read this article and let me know what you think- it turns the table and I think lets us Americans see events from another perspective:

Iran may talk tough to present a strong front, but they aren't the one that has invaded 2 countries in the middle east, is actively killing people in 4 more, and has killed (murdered) hundreds of thousands of people.

Regarding pacificism and WW2- try this perspective:
