Of all the candidates, only Ron Paul has the grasp of history and economic sense to know whats going on and how to stop the war machine that consumes both parties.  Its an issue of POLICY ... IMPERIAL, MERCANTILE, INTERVENTIONIST POLICY.  If you think Democrats are anti-war, think again.  Almost all of them (save maybe Kucinich/Gravel) want to leave residual troops.  Same instability, deaths, and jihadism that could be averted if we just left that region alone.
