Or maybe he realizes he needs to clean up his own shit before he goes and tries to wipe your ass.

Keep in mind I'm not American.

Well America is the number one problem in the world right now. If Paul cleans it up it will probably divert armageddon for another couple more years.

You liken them to an umpire, yet fundamentally the UN is nothing but a sweet looking strawberry with a deadly poisonous taste. To illustrate exactly what I mean I am referring to the UN charter on human rights, it reads like a utopian delight but then when you reach articles 29 and 30 and go beyond the lawyer speak it effectively says you have no rights because those rights can be renounced by the state, stripping you of all rights.

ideally a UN Charter needs something to the effect of 'We the people' so that anybody in the world can cite it as a defense. The reason it does not have something of that effect is because it would undermine the basis of alot of nation's legal systems, their constitutions. For example in Australia or UK or China we have no bill of rights, no constitutional rights whatsoever. It was out of respect for individual nations that the UN does not state to derive it's power from the people, doing so would have messed with their entire legal system and would have been too much, too soon. They got to be diplomatic and have respect for sovereign nations to develop their own legal systems first. However, it is something that I believe should be considered in the future.
I like alot of things Ron Paul says, the US needs radical changes, but the last president who wanted to scrap the Federal Reserve was JFK.

What are you basing that on? Because he supports a non-interventionist ideology? LOL, you make it sound like he's going to isolate the US from the rest of the world, cut off communication and trade.
America is extraordinarly fucked up due to the current regime's foreign policy - it's fucked us, it's fucked countries we've fucked with, and it's fucked countries that we don't even fuck with. It's a fatally flawed policy that must change.
Paul's plan attacks the cause, not the symptoms. Getting America on track will benefit the rest of the world immensely. It's guys like Bush, Romney, McCain, Obama, Hillary, that don't give a fuck about the rest of the world.

One of the realist speeches i have heard in a long time.
