Ron Paul all other things set aside is actually spouting the historical position of the United States. Friends with all, wary of any, strong on defense and offensive power (yeah right), no imperial tendencies. For the first 150 years with a few counter examples (e.g. Spanish American War) the United States kept most of it's imperialistic tendencies on the North American Continent. What he is suggesting is very Jeffersonian, and pretty close to the position (if more extreme) to what G.W. Bush ran as a campaign for the 2000 election.
