I agree... But that leaves what options? Military action? That's exactly what Iran wants, for the US and/or Israel to take military action against Iran's "peaceful" use of Nuclear technology.Until you look at the details... For example, Paul would not try to "buy" their friendship with foreign aid dollars.It's just a fundamental disagreement on how to deal with the rest of the world. One term in particular that's used to describe RP's FP is "Isolationist", but that is incorrect:Nonintervention or non-interventionism is a foreign policy which holds that political rulers should avoid alliances with other nations, but still retain diplomacy, and avoid all wars not related to direct self-defense. This is based on the grounds that a state should not interfere in the internal politics of another state, based upon the principles of state sovereignty and self-determination. A similar phrase is "strategic independence". Historical examples of supporters of non-interventionism are US Presidents George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, who both favored nonintervention in European Wars while maintaining free trade. Other proponents include United States Senator Robert Taft and United States Congressman Ron Paul.Nonintervention is distinct from isolationism, the latter featuring economic nationalism (protectionism) and restrictive immigration. Proponents of non-interventionism distinguish their polices from isolationism through their advocacy of more open national relations, to include diplomacy and free trade.
