If this is what poses as an intellectual argument against Ron Paul, it's really good news. One quote from it that struck me:


It is the height of generalization to assume all Middle Easterners who oppose American foreign policy are little terrorist tacticians in the making, with the wherewithal, and equipment, and desire to start plundering innocents. Conflating every upset Muslim –– every Arab with a differing opinion –– as a “future enemy” is not only a soft bigotry of low expectations, showing tempered scorn for all “those people,” but it is a ludicrous request for U.S. policymakers to abide by. What sovereign state happily handcuffs itself like this? What other segment of the world’s population do we try to avoid angering so much?

This really begs the question: is the notion that Muslims want to violently destroy western civilization due to religious fanaticism and hatred of "freedom" really intellectually superior to the notion that our interventionist foreign policies have helped fuel recruitment for militaristic radical leaders and causes? Also, don't people understand how relatively easy it is to become a terrorist? When you don't have an army, you just have to rely on some very simple but effective means.

The fearmongering neo-cons will continue their crap. The vast majority of America is no longer listening. If the right people were elected to office these dweeb lackeys would be tried for treason along with their leaders and when convicted would feel the ROPE !!!

That is why they need another 9-11 or at least a serious threat of it. Maybe just a little taste by convienently ignoring some piece of intelligence saying al-quida is planning another attack.

By ignoring I mean letting it happen. There are already some neocons writing about how they wish we had another attack to get the people behind Bush again.
