Ron Paul is a nut. A genius, but a nut. He has fantastic fiscal ideas but when his mind wanders past our shores he get a bit out there... To compare North Korea to Russia in the cold war is crazy. First of all, the cold war wasn't a walk in the park, it was touch and go for a long time and if it wasn't for cool heads we would be a folk story to the few that survived. Secondly, the world isn't so worried about the North launching at us or really anybody else as we are about the nukes being sold to the lunatic muslum groups. Thirdly, the North isn't a world power and has always felt pushed around by the rest of the world and might just get postal, who knows...
In saying that, I hope Romney put Paul in charge of the Federal Reserve, that would be good for the country. Him as President??? Not so much.
