Stated by Mr X above: “The idea that we should ignore terrorists just because their numbers are small is nuts. Charles Manson and his followers were a small group also. Does that mean we should have allowed them to have free reign to continue killing people because we have to put their numbers into perspective?”
I never said to ignore them. You’re reaching on that. I agree that it would be nuts to ignore them. Ron Paul is not saying to ignore them. The politicians in our government making the decisions right now are the ones that are ignoring them. They are focused on nation-building in countries instead of bringing these horrible criminals to justice. We haven’t taken out Osama bin Laden to my knowledge…which was the original mission in Afghanistan. We invaded Iraq when there was NO imminent attack on our nation and in which there were few if any terrorists present. Now we have a terrorist problem there and yet we are still nation-building there too. The focus is on the wrong things and it is bankrupting our country. We won’t have the money to fight anything if we keep up the way we are going now. You can’t just think about what is happening now, need to see the bigger picture and plan for the future.
