Twisp, American Foreign Policy is pretext at best. if you want to list that as "one of the reasons", it would certainly NOT be one of the main reasons, it MIGHT be a tertiary reason at best. American Foreign Policy is pretext, not causal.
America is the king of the hill. we could to the exact opposite of what we have done and the result would be the same. we could follow some third path in Foreign Policy and the results would be the same.
Ron Pauls view is simplistic and without context. I dont trust a guy that cannot put historic reality into context.
