Iran: The next neocon target

DallasBlog.com | Rep Ron Paul:

“Conservatives, libertarians, constitutionalists, and many of today’s liberals have all at one time or another endorsed a less interventionist foreign policy. There’s no reason a coalition of these groups might not once again present the case for a pro-American, non-militant, non-interventionist foreign policy dealing with all nations. A policy of trade and peace, and a willingness to use diplomacy, is far superior to the foreign policy that has evolved over the past 60 years. It’s time for a change.”

Ed Cognoski responds:

Rep Ron Paul (R-TX) lays out the most cogent argument for a foreign policy of containment and diplomacy and against interventionism and pre-emptive war that I have read anywhere. It lays out the lessons learned over 60 years, including our failure in Vietnam, our success in the Cold War, our unfinished business in Afghanistan, and our disaster in Iraq. It identifies the telltale signs of another intervention being plotted by neocons, this time in Iran, and why this intervention is likely to have as disastrous of results as Iraq. It should be required reading.
