    10. The U.S. military has absolutely no right, whether legal or moral, to be killing people who live in Iraq. It has no right to even be in Iraq. Why is this? Because neither the Iraqi government nor the Iraqi people ever attacked the United States.

    ...

    7. In a free country, aggressive war should never be used as a tool of foreign policy. Using force to impose what American politicians consider to be a proper government for Iraq violates every principle of freedom which this country is supposed to stand for. This is not freedom for Iraqis.

    Want to know the other 8 reasons?

    Lorien, do you agree with AIPAC lobbying the federal government for taxpayer funding in Israel?

    I'm simply curious why everyone's focus on foreign aid is done on Israel. Ever curious about that, guerilla?

    Here's a little piece that might help you out a little bit on the "jewish lobby myth"

    http://www.usnews.com/articles/opinion/2007/09/09/the-israel-lobby-myth.html

    And maybe you'd help me understand why ron paul supporters are going into muslim areas with a distinct anti-israel message. Are you alarmed by this? Or do you think it'd also be okay for ron paul supporters to go into jewish areas with an anti-muslim message as well?

    Just imagine if Rudy was going into jewish neighborhoods, selling the muslim terrorist line & how he would stop all ME aid.

    All these Ron Paul supporters would be shouting racist.

    Israel is the biggest recipient of US foreign aid? I dunno.

    I realized after I posted that it may have come off confrontational, and it wasn't meant to be. I'm honestly curious to know what your position on foreign aid (for anyone) is. I could care less about the Jewish lobby, Paul plans to avoid being lobbied by any foreign powers for American taxpayer dollars.

    I don't approve of all of his supporter's messages or intentions. I do however approve of Ron Paul's platform.

    With regards to this specific message, it could have been done better, and less Jewish centric. But the money and ad were derived privately and even though feedback was offered, ultimately the people running the ad are responsible.

    Ron Paul was recently excluded from a prominent Jewish Presidential debate for criticizing AIPAC. Frankly, I'm tired of all of the subtle and not-so-subtle accusations of antisemitism when people criticize Israeli policy or special interest groups. It's almost as ludicrous as saying that if you don't support the Iraq war, you're not patriotic.
