Last night I watched Ron Paul interviewing a candidate for Libertarian Party's nomination for POTUS. They asked him a tough question: "If you were to be magically placed into the seat of the POTUS right now, today, what would you do?"
The tap dancing was hilarious.
I shun politics completely, but from what I understand, wouldn't a Libertarian first rescind all foreign aid (not just to Israel, but to every foreign country) and also revoke membership in all "entangling agreements", like the UN (first order of business) and then NATO (more difficult)? A true hands off policy on Israel may temporarily "enable genocide", but as soon as the money runs out and without big brother saving their political ass internationally (no more UN Security Council vetos), wouldn't that eventually end the problem of Israeli aggression oonce and for all? I thought that this was an easy question.
The candidate quickly ran off on tangents in just about every direction and of course never answered the question asked. This is why even "third-party" candidates cannot be trusted to rule over humanity.
