Comments on: Ron Paul – “What if?” speech – The American people learn the truth http://www.chuckypita.com/ron-paul-what-if-speech-the-american-people-learn-the-truth/ Political views even Homer Simpson could understand...

A republic (versus a democracy) means rule of law, and just enough government to keep the citizenry safe. Sometimes war is a necessary evil to ensure we maintain our blessings of liberty. Although I agree war in Iraq was not a necessity, and probably "unconstitutional", I don't agree with the generic premise that diplomacy is "superior to bombs"; instead I believe that war is an extension of foreign (and domestic) policy when the safety of our people and/or national interests are at stake. Additionally, "harsh" interrogation tactics are effective. I did not say "torture" is effective, because there is a distinct difference. Sometimes people need a little motivation to realize that telling the truth is probably the best course of action...and preferable to the alternative. Most people understand that idea...it's just human nature. I am a true believer in our Republic.
