Jacob Sullum on Ron Paul's Challenge to Mindless Militarism

Reporters routinely describe Ron Paul's foreign policy views as "isolationist" because he opposes the promiscuous use of military force.

The implicit assumption that violence is the only way to interact with the world, Sullum argues, shows why Paul's perspective is desperately needed in the campaign for the Republican presidential nomination.
