A Canadian's View on Ron Paul's Foreign Policy View

In some "conservative" circles in Canada, it's almost sacrilege to question the American wars Canada gets involved with.

From what I can see of most of the "support the troops" Canadian neo-cons who would automatically write off Ron Paul because of his foreign policy - the narrator's comment that they "want to honour the veterans in a very cursory way" very accurately describes them.

They want to "honour" their veterans the way many so-called Christians "honour" God by going to Church on Sunday and a brothel on Monday.  The way I look at it, the yellow ribbon on your car is irrelevant, when the politician you voted for sent the soldier that ribbon is supposed to honour to his death or the currency system you trade your life for is deliberately structured to require him to sacrifice his life to protect it (the system, not you).

The fuel for a lot of this neo-con warmongering I think is mindlessly swallowing anti-Islamic propaganda designed to instill an artificial and unfounded fear of Muslims to justify military intervention and occupation of resource rich territories primarily inhabited by Muslims.

Most Muslims are actually very honourable, decent people.  Islamic culture may have many odd quirks to us as westerners - but to insinuate that Muslims hate us because of our democracy, freedom and prosperity IS preposterous.

I believe any candidate other than Ron Paul as President in 2012 will lead the US and her allies into both a world war that will unnecessarily erradicate millions if not billions of innocent people, destroy any notion of democracy, freedom, and prosperity AND create an economic depression that will last at least a generation.

It's encouraging to see that Ron Paul enjoys the most support from the US military.  Hopefully if some neo-con Republican or Obama is president in 2012, the individual soldiers in the US military simply will refuse to go along with evil scheme of building a global empire that WILL destroy America and it's allies.

Ron Paul IS the man to watch.  Your fate as an individual here in Canada depends on Americans choosing him as president.  That's why I donated to his campaign through an American relative.
