You get your exercise jumping to conclusions. I am not an isolationist.
I fully believe in a global economy,  a strong defense that includes
fighting our enemies on their turf not ours. Ron Paul does not.

Once you get past your love affair with one of the most corrupt
originations on the face of the earth, (that's the U.N. in case you
forgot),if you show any sign that you might understand, we can move on to
what would be a better replacement for the UN.
