Great job RT for providing an international forum for sharing views on Ron Paul. He is a man for our times, but our media machine is marginalizing him via well known strategies. But Ron Paul is not Churchill. Churchill was a globalist, the type that was enamored with Wilsonian human engineering. I agree with the comments that US role in WWI is still causing ripples in Europe. An early end of the War would have prevented the takeover of Russia by the group of western ideologically inspired communists, and the brutal economic sanctions on Germany prepared the ground for the rise of nazism. One cannot forget Wilson's craft in putting together Yugoslavia, by adding Slovene and Croatian provinces of Austro-Hungarian Empire to Serbia. Until today, Serbia is suffering the consequences of that decision. Serbia as a party that greatly contributed to the allied efforts would have been more then satisfied with being able to finally get the predominantly Serbian populated towns and provinces of Bosnia and Croatia inside its borders. But no, Wilson demanded that Croatia and Slovenia be included, simplyfying for him the solution for te "loose ends" in Balkans. What a mistake that was! Serbia should have remained Serbia, not become a multi-national entity, a weird new counter-weight to the weakened Austria and Hungary. That did not work from day one, as the newly incorporated entities would have rather remained part of Austria or Italy. Until today, Serbia is being punished for not loving globalism, and is still a suspect in the eyes of EU mondial crowd. Ron Paul understands that the empire will bankrupt us, and leave us in a position where we will have to form even more entangling alliances just to get the empire going. So, the empire will transform from Bushes triumphant unilateralism, into a more participatory empire. All signs are that Obama would like to transform (read, expand) NATO into McCain's "league of democracies". That would involve including countries such as Japan, Australia, Brazil and South Africa into the new NATO. This would be a process of first "collaborating" with UN, and then replacing it. Many authors have penned ideas in that direction. Naturally, there is a belief in some circles that the world wants and needs American leadership (read: empire). In fact, world needs less American military presence, and more trade and good relations. Ron Paul is a lonely voice in Congress. Ron Paul's recent article on occupation has been written for an average American. It paints a picture of a Texas town being occupied by say Russian or Chinese troops. He asks people to imagine how would they behave if the occupying army behaves in a manner American military did in Iraq. He has a very large following, but one would never know it from the media. In fact, a recent poll of likely Republican candidates for President, showed that Ron Paul has just as many votes as the former Republican front runner, Mitt Romney. Imagine, if Ron Paul was given even a fraction of media time as other candidates do? Thanks to Internet, he is making progress.
