It is an overly simplistic generalization to lump people as “Paul haters”.

No hate, just jaw dropping amazement when he says stuff, as he did in the republican debate just before Christmas, that there is “no evidence” that Iran is developing a nuclear weapon.

The notion that the United States, if attacked, could turn Persia to dust doesn’t reassure me much. And Iran doesn’t yet even have the long range delivery capacity to reach the United States, not even Tel Aviv for that matter. Europe should be uncomfortable with the notion of Iran achieving delivery capacity, being a much closer target.

But that isn’t to say, contrary to RP’s blithe statement, that the Iranians aren’t working day in and day out to remedy those limitations.
