Rand Paul CNN interviews

Wow, the Wolf Blitzer interview was fantastic...haven't had time to watch the other one yet.
 
Paul is too soft spoken. He should call out the chickenhawks and their wishful thinking instead of subtly suggesting their insanity, I think :)

I can't believe people aren't jumping up and down and screaming about the MSF bombing.
Seemed like Wolf was trying to illicit a stronger response from Rand. Probably bait for something or another. CNN has been trying to obscure and deflect this story since it came out.
 
"Doctors and hospitals should never be targeted" why? what if they are treating enemy combatants? For me, everything but day cares and maternity wards are fair targets for attack in war. Get out of the way or get killed. War is hell
 
Just don't believe in absolute statements like that. Its stupid rules like these that makes wars last much longer than they should.

Thank you for stating your opinion on the subject. :rolleyes: The wars last longer than they should, not because of rules like that, but because of how profitable they are. These rules are here to convince ourselves we are not savages when we engage military power.

The reason we've been in Afghanistan for 14 years, longer than WWI, WWII and the civil war combined, is because we broke all those "stupid rules" and just war principles. If our nation is not bound by constitutional restrictions on declaring war, or international treaties, or just war principles that make basic distinctions between civilian and combatant targets, nor even historical criteria for ending or exiting a conflict, is it any wonder why we're now bogged down in quagmire and war crimes?
