The BIG Debate: U.S. Foreign Policy and the War in Iraq
Libertarians Ron Paul & Doug Casey vs. Conservatives Larry Abraham & Dinesh D'Souza
Summary of points raised by Ron Paul:
* In general, in the past those who advocated non-intervention won elections.
* The constitution did not give permission to the US government to initiate wars of aggression and that was for good reason.
* The constitution notes that war should only be waged after a declaration of war from congress.
* The founders' advice was to talk to people, trade with them, but not intervene in the internal affairs of other nations.
* There are many unintended consequences of intervention. As more intervention has taken place over the 20th century, people around the world have become resentful of U.S. foreign policy. This resentment has created blowback as extremist organizations have become motivated to attack the U.S. based on its interventionist foreign policy.
* If a non-intervention policy is hard to accept, consider what intervention looks like from the other side. What would we think if the Chinese had troops within our borders and they were teaching us to live like the Chinese and teaching us their religion and their laws? We would be outraged and we would fight to remove their presence.
* When Ronald Reagan sent troops to Lebanon and reversed his pledge to never turn tail and run. He explained the reversal due to his realizing the irrationality of the policies of that nation and the hatreds of the region. It was a lesson he had to learn, but we still haven't learned it.
* In 1953 we used the CIA to overthrow democratically elected Prime Minister Mohamed Mosedec because we didn't like him defending the interests of the Iranians against the interests of the British and American oil companies. And we wonder why they get angry.
* We remember nothing, they forget nothing.
* In the 1980's we subsidized the radical madrassa schools and Osama bin Laden to create "freedom fighters" against the communists
* We were partners with Saddam Hussein because he was attacking Iran. When he used gas, we looked the other way and actually sold him the gas.
* These policies have to stop, and a better managed war in Iraq will not solve America's fundamentally broken foreign policy
