This is why Ron Paul should be president--he is the only candidate with the courage to actually address the real issues of national security and how to solve the problem of global terrorism. And the only candidate with a foreign policy that won't create more terrorists.

America lost this war ever since Bush fell for the belief (either through a lot of Saudi money, or, just being stupid) that Islam is a religion of peace that has just been hijacked by millions of evil people. Islam will eventually rule the world because, truthfully, I can't ever see the Kaabah taken out and defiled with pig poop. The longer the Kabbah stands unscathed in the "war on terror", the more Muslims will think there is an Allah protecting "His House", and the MORE that faith in Allah will increase, resulting in MORE terrorism against the free world.
