Let’s Have a Real Foreign-Policy Debate
Only a few of the candidates can handle a real discussion.

The Know Nothings and the Selective Interpreters waste our time by making us more ill-informed, which is why I’d like to see a foreign-policy debate among Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, and Jon Huntsman. Ron Paul would force a debate on our principles, and Huntsman would inject a dose of reality.
[...]
Ron Paul contrasts most radically with Romney as the conviction candidate. His opposition to torture on moral and practical grounds — it’s “uncivilized” and lacks “practical advantages” — would make it more likely that Romney would have to weigh in on what underpins his beliefs instead of getting away with saying the convenient thing.
Wow. I thought for sure this would be more "ban Ron Paul from the debates" nonsense.
However, since the chances of the government adopting Ron Paul’s foreign policy are slim to none, the discussion is almost theoretical.
That's quite the pronouncement, but that theoretical discussion is sorely needed.
