Senator Rand Paul shows his foreign affairs stupidity
Rand Paul got on Meet The Press Sunday and showed how little he understands foreign affairs, and little he's ready to take a step up in national political discussions. He stated that he was against military action in Syria, which as far as I'm concerned, is a fine stance to take. But then, he said he was glad that the President was going to delay, for this would give the UN inspectors time to give their report on what happened in Syria. Again, a fine stance. But then, he said he wanted the Obama administration to take that report and show it to Russia and China. Now, I must admit that, after this, I didn't care what he said. What could he say? For one, isn't the hatred that the GOP has for the UN the reason why the Senate refused to approve a treaty that would make all countries accept handicap laws that the America already has? Yes! But to me, that's not even the worst part. The worst part is that he doesn't understand that there's nothing in any report that will make either Russia or China to allow any action in Syria. They not only consider the Syrian regime friends, they don't care about their own people, much less those of the Syrian people. If China thinks it's okay for children and women to work in factories as de facto slaves, what makes Senator Paul think China cares about Syrians? If Putin and the Russians are allowing beating of gays and lesbians and will jail anyone who speaks out on their behalf, what could be said in a report that Putin would allow action against the Assad regime? That's right, absolutely nothing. So, why does he want the inspectors report to be seen by Russia and China? I don't know either, and but it does show how little he really knows foreign affairs, and why he's not ready for the national stage.
