And, he will not be going senile. He is the healthiest person on the presidential stage! He challenged them all to a 20 mile bike race in the Texas heat, and they all declined and said there is no question who would win that race. Ron Paul's age is not a factor whatsoever, except in one case...... assassination. IF he were elected, he better have someone just like him as the V.P., because he is ripe for a faked heart attack. We would all know better, but it wouldn't matter much would it.

It is a grueling job. Even young men like Clinton feel the effects of it and put on a lot of age while in office. 8 years looks more like 25 on them!

What people will be killed? If we pulled our troops off the border of North Korea, tensions between the two countries could be reduced dramatically. On the other side of the coin, if North Korea would decide to attack South Korea, the amount of technically advanced military armaments that we have sold to South Korea would be no match for North Korea.
Israel has one of the strongest military and technically advanced armies in the region, plus they have nukes. I'm sure they could defend themselves, they have been for decades.
As for Afghanistan and Iraq, those countries have had internal fighting for over a century. What makes you think were preventing any innocent lives from being killed. Maybe countries need to settle their own internal problems themselves instead of relying on countries that don't share the same kind of culture and devotion to a radical religion. No country has ever been tamed by occupying forces.
Governments or religious leaders who cause conflict within their own country, must be overthrown by their own people. All countries have diverse cultures and customs. To have a country involve themselves with internal strife, is like having someone who lives in an upscale neighborhood try to settle disputes in a poverty stricken area controlled by gangs and crime on a daily basis. Neither can relate to the circumstances that they face everyday in their social surroundings.
