The beauty of "I told you so" is always lost when your statement regards the demise of the world.

We definitely need to start thinking about the effects our government`s policies and actions will have down the road, instead of just the short term.

Well, event though I sometimes enjoy Mr. Paul`s rhetoric, I dont think he predicted anything in there. The points he nailed right were all too obvious.

Predictions that came true... hmmm I dont see it sorry.
You could listen to 1960`s - 1970`s -1980`s counterculture icons speeches and get the exact same type of "predictions". Ron Paul is making a point to strengten his arguments and thast all good. But he aint predicting shit.

GO GO vote me down, all of you Mr.Paul`s lambs.

"Mr.Paul`s lambs."

Care to elaborate? 7 years ago the man got so many things right. We don`t like him because he isn`t just more intelligent than Bush. Try listening to everything the man has been saying for the past several years. This is the reason why the internet is behind him so much.

Why do you hate him?

See how I predicted I would get voted down. I`m sooo good.

SORRY PEOPLE THIS IS LONG BUT ITS MY ANSWER AND EXPLANATION AS TO HOW I SEE IT AND IT CANNOT BE MUCH MORE CONCISED. THIS IS NOT CUT AND PASTE CRAP.

Why do I hate him ?? WTF . I never even implied I loved or hated him. I actually think he`s a refreshing face in the US political landscape. Seriously, I am very well aware of mr. Paul`s positions and views, and I agree with some of them, but I also disagree with lots of them. Especially his old austrian school economics dogma where the market should never be legislated nor interveined upon. This is pure dogma.

Now, lets look at what he predicts:

US taxpayers will pay to rebuild Palestine. -->> Hmm not yet.
US taxpayers are paying to bomb these areas. -->> Not a prediction, its been going on for quite a while now.

Predicting US taxpayers will have to pay to rebuild an invaded or US sponsored destruction of a country is not rocket science. However, the money invested so far to rebuild palestine by US interest is just not there yet. -- >> Sorry USA is not investing in rebuilding Palestine in any significant fashion. One could agree this is a fair and honest estimate he makes, but I would not call it a reality so far.

Then a short period of peace to the middle east. -->> Not there yet. Did not happen. At least not how he seems to imply it. There was no peace, Palestinians are still under sieged, and islamic kamikazes are still doing their insane killings.

Allied Arab countries wiil get US weapons, and so will Israel. -->> Now this is an easy one. It`s been going on for a long time, still does, and will go on as long as there is a buck to be made.

US Troops and friends will monitor the peace. Its more likely to be others, since american troops dont usually do this. -->> However, this didnt happen in Palestine, nor Irak, nor Afghanistan, nor Israel, nor Lebanon. So far, there is no significant peace monitoring in the middle east.

Oil boycott will be imposed with prices set at historic highs. -->> Well, this almost happenned, and probably will in a near future. However, it`s been predicted for the last 30 years. But it still is not there.

Consolidation of arab nations to avenge Palestine. Well thats not even close to happen so far. Once again wrong on this. Like most of us here, Ron Paul has a problem with understanding of the arab world politics. Not going to happen in quite a while I think, but hey, I might be wrong.

Some of our arab moderate ally will be overthrown by arab fundamentalist. Well, Pakistan is the closest thing to this coming true. However, they are not Arabs, and the civil population seem to be slowly gaining back his say in the public political arena. All the countries where that happened so far, were already under islamic dictatorship before 2002, mainly Afghanistan and Algeria.

UN condemnations of US and Israel middle east policies will be ignored. Well that was true so far, but it has been for how many years now. Anyone wnat to take a guess here ?

Some European countries will openly back anti Israel arab nations. Again, this goes way back, not in that exact form or shape but its nothing new.

China will sell the militant muslim the weapons they want and will align themselves with the arab nations. Didnt happen.

Tony Blair will attack Irak and a major war, biggest since WW2 will resolve. Well thats not how it went actually. And it`s much more of a big mess than a big war now is it. Factually it is not a war, its an invasion. Its an hostile takeover of natural ressources powered by personal vendetta.

But obvviously, the last prediction is Ron Paul at his oratory best, as always with his speeches, the ending is the only really significant point. As I was saying, all those predictions he`s making are not necessarily going to come true, that does not matter. They are present in the speech to give much more weight to the final stance which is :

We are spending too much, they are cutting down our civil liberties, lets stop speculating, let us all respect other nations and bring back the constitution.

Now thats what I meant. In short.

oh yes, I forgot, sorry, I dont know shit about Ron Paul, you might be right, is that a prediction ? ;)

Also I could easily predict I will get voted down again even though I imply quite strongly that I love and respect the man. Just implying he`s not a demi-god seems to shock people. Same goes for President Obama. I love the guy, but I dont agree with a lot of shit he does right now.
