Alternatives to Militarism

"You seem to be the very thing you set out to destroy. Giving evil for evil. Hatred is turning you to stone."
--Esther (Ben-Hur)

Ron Paul prescribes the correct alternatives to militaristic retaliation against the Paris terrorism last weekend. Focus on free trade and friendly relations. Abandon 'regime change' and other forcible manipulations in foreign lands. Respect sovereign borders of other nations.

Develop self-defense capacity at home to repel aggression. But do not turn that capacity around and use it offensively.

Promote and exemplify peace and freedom. This is the true leadership position.
