Entry: Have I Turned Against Ron Paul? Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/have_i_turned_against_ron_paul#13045 Post contents: <I>There are two problems with it: first, it imposes collective punishment on an entire class of individuals on account of their nationality.</I> Collective punishment? Paul's idea is sensible. Of course he could have said the student visas for those nationals would be reinstated once the designated nation stopped supporting terrorism. But the position of Mr. Raimondo could be framed as "Libertarians want to reward nations which support international terrorism by giving their nationals student visas so they can study at our elite American Universities." <I>This “terrorist nation” business—which hits the viewer over the head at the end—alienates those brought in by his antiwar message.</I> Not me. I have no problem identifying as "terrorist" those nations which support terrorism, and I am an antiwar Paul supporter. Sent at: 2008 07 05
