China and india because theyre large, big countries. But theres absolutely no intent on challenging soa. The chinese are building up forces and we have to watch that and asked for greater transparency. But theyre doing too good a job selling it to us. And so while i watch china with great interest as a professional manner, im not up to be china is going to become an enemyfg because it got nowhere been our enemy in the past and have gotten very far by not being counting the enemy. If you read the consequences as interest we need to have a clear idea of who would be taking over to power. With respect to iran, we need to put pressure on them. They are not going to give up their Nuclear Program easily. We have been trying to do this for eight or nine years. They keep insisting that its just for the production of power. But i have seen some of the things that have evolved. So you cant trust them. The solution may well be okay, if all you want is power, lets talk about how you can do that i
Spoke at the Cato Institute of washington. This includes remarks by one paul sun, senator rand paul. Its an hour and 10 minutes. Good afternoon. Welcome to the Cato Institute. Im david boaz of the institute of her trying Something Different you are doing an event after work hours. Well see how that works out, but hopefully its good for people who have jobs and cant come to the events we do usually at noon. Required to have a very interesting discussion of ron pauls revolution. About 30 years ago there was a book published about the early years of the Libertarian Movement called it usually begins a timer and unless we found a cato, that most of our interns and students who came to her seminaries had first read the fountainhead. Not all of him, but more than anything else. I think you can say over the past six years, it usually begins with ron paul. As we get more people hitting their first taste of libertarian ideas and maybe then they move on to read ayn rand and cato policy studies, w
It strikes me is not the sort of thing he tends to do, so im going to say not. I dont know. Not his usual style of paint. Yes in the back row. Question for brian doherty. Looking at 2012, which president ial come if its romney for obama, which victory would be better for the small incubating Ron Paul Movement or would there be any difference at all . I had to think about this morning talking to reporters so i have a fresh answer. Yesterday i didnt have an answer. For reasons i cannot articulate, im pretty convinced obama will win reelection and i cannot defend that, they just set it on the record. You can get back to me about it. Since the Republican Party as a vehicle through which this action is happening now, its probably better if romney wins and is as bad as libertarians expect them to be, which allows for a convinced game primary challenger to really make real to the party but theres two things fighting for supremacy, like in 1860 was the rockefeller wing versus the goldwater rai

had first read fountain head, and that s how they got into this, and i think you can say over the past six years that had usually begins with ron paul. that s with you get more people getting their first taste of libertarian ideas, and maybe then they move on to read ayn rand, cay toe policy cato policy studies or whatever, but people brought to the con cement of liberty and limited government by ron paul and his campaign. to me, it s clear he got more attention, more success, and more votes in this vote, 2012, than 2007-2008. i had voters ask why is that? i think, to me, the clear answer is not because he did anything different. he has not changed his views or the way he presents them. what did change, i think, was the public policy environment in which he was talking. back in 2007, ron paul warned that an economy based on debt and cheap money from the federal reserve was note sustainable, but the economy was booming and nobody wanted to listen, and then after the financ
