Ron Paul emerged the clear winner of last night's FOX News GOP debate according to a poll of Fox viewers and even according to analysis in the Washington Post, as the congressman cemented the fact that he is the only hope America has of ending its involvement in multiple costly and damaging wars across the globe.
Paul was in his element at the Iowa debate and delivered the most comprehensible and impassioned performance seen at any of the debates thus far.
Every other candidate in attendance attempted to scramble over their rivals to lead the charge for the military industrial complex, while Paul stuck firmly to his anti-war principles, demanding that US troops be brought home with immediate effect.
During a heated back and forth with Rick Santorum regarding a potential conflict with Iran, Paul showed true statesman qualities, arguing that merely slapping sanctions on the country and refusing to even entertain the idea of negotiating with the Iranian leadership would lead directly to conflict further down the line.
"They have no evidence that they are working on a weapon," Paul said. "At least our leaders and Reagan talked to the Soviets. What is so terribly bad about this? Countries you put sanctions on, you are more likely to fight them. I say a policy of peace is free trade, stay out of their internal business. Do not get involved in these wars and bring our troops home." The Congressman added.
When Santorum insisted that Iran had "killed more American men and women in uniform in Iraq and Afghanistan than the Iraqis and Afghans have," Paul urged the American people to see through such examples of war propaganda.
When Santorum added that Iran had been "at war with us since 1979″, Paul countered that it was the meddling of the CIA in Iran in the 1950s that had directly caused such "blowback".
"The senator is wrong on his history," Paul urged. "We've been at war in Iran for a lot longer than '79. We started it in 1953 when we sent in a coup, installed the Shah. The reaction, the blow-back came in 1979, it's been going on and on because we just plain don't mind our own business. That's our problem!" The Congressman asserted as the crowd in attendance erupted into riotous applause and cheering.
"Iran is a threat because they have some militants there, but believe me they are all around the world, and they are not a whole lot different than others." The Congressman added. "Iran does not have an air force that can come here, they can't even make enough gasoline for themselves." Paul said as he fended off constant attempts by Santorum to interrupt him with authority.
"They are building up this case just like we did in Iraq, build up the war propaganda. There was no Al Qaeda in Iraq, and 'they had nuclear weapons and we had to go in', I'm sure you supported that war as well," said Paul, directing his words toward the former Senator.
In the stand out moment of the entire evening, a clearly emotional Ron Paul almost burst out of the screen as he boomed into the microphone "It's time we quit this. IT'S TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS WE'RE SPENDING ON THESE WARS!"
