If he had been around in 1939 Europe would have fallen to the Nazis.

I don't think I worded my previous post well, sorry I will try to be more clear. I have read, and agree that the initial group that has NOW grown into HAMAS was supported and funded by the Israeli government. However, I think it is unfair to suggest that Israel is to blame for the organisation it has become and what is represents.
The OP is implying that Israel set up and aided a fundamental Islamic resistance group, knowing full well their intentions to create trouble. Do you REALLY believe the Israeli government would create and support a group that promotes violence and seeks to destroy its (Israel's) own state?
Not saying the IG is blameless and without fault, but they surely would not do the same knowing the nature and ideals of the current Hamas movement.
Also, people on both sides need to take some responsibility for their actions and stop blaming the opposing side. Peace will only come when ALL parties show tolerance and restraint.

True.
Every diplomat needs to be able to flatter, distort, manipulate and inveigle.
Somehow I doubt those are abilities Dr. Paul's supporters are looking for.

I believe that all the current diplomats that you are mentioning are LIARS. If our national intentions are to continue living a lie than yes RP is not the man for that since he tells the truth and is a committed husband and father.
If I'm reading your post correctly you want a diplomacy policy built to flatter, distort, manipulate and inveigle and that is simply a policy of LIARS TELLING LIES.

Well if you're right, and they are, don't count on people like Ron Paul to deal with them.
He's the oh so modern version of Neville Chamberlain. Plausible, likeable, and intelligent - but when the poop hits the fan his weakness of character will get you all killed.
