Ron should ask his fellow candidates "Who's the biggest imperialist?"

[GreenLP]

I bet they would all get hopping mad that he's applying the USA is the biggest imperialist in the world, but part of the reason they would become angry is that they would all be put on the spot to having to admit the USA is, or lie that the USA isn't.

Would anybody else love to hear the other candidates answers to this? :D

[Article V]

A better question is to ask the other candidates, "Who among you is the most imperialistic?" No one would want to get the label, so they'd start dodging but Ron Paul could counter..."Well, if you don't believe we should be in every country in the world, how many countries should we be in? How many does it take to be safe? Should we be in South Korea? Afghanistan? Germany? France? Italy? Libya? Egypt? Just how many does it take to guarantee our safety and tranquility? And if South Korea, Afghanistan, Iraq, Israel, Pakistan, and Libya are all attacked, either by their own national insurgents or by foreign countries such as North Korea or Iran or any number of other potential threats, should we go to war in all those places? Just how many wars can America sustain at once? And for how long without jeopardizing our security or bankrupting us completely? How long before the external threats and nation building weaken us so much that there becomes a global war in a race to unseat and replace America as a super-power? If you don't want to be in every country than their must be a number you'd support? What is that number? If you don't believe we can handle involvement in supporting the wars of all our friends, then which friends should we primarily support and which should we ignore when they are in need?"

I could go on... but you guys get the idea.

As each candidate dodges indefinitely, Ron Paul could swing back around that the only moral position is for the America government to support the interests of its people and its people alone. Involving ourselves in the affairs of others can only lead to bad blood and bankruptcy.
