"Fortunately, there is a weapon for preserving life and liberty that can be wielded effectively by almost anyone -- the handgun. Small and light enough to be carried habitually, lethal, but unlike the knife or sword, not demanding great skill or strength, it truly is the 'great equalizer.' Requiring only hand-eye coordination and a modicum of ability to remain cool under pressure, it can be used effectively by the old and the weak against the young and the strong, by the one against the many." ~ Jeffrey Snyder

Sadly, when Ron Paul mentions those who have fallen victim to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, he consistently refuses to cite the most innocent of the victims -- not the invading and meddling soldiers that he never fails to mention, but the poor destroyed people who have fallen victim to U.S. foreign policy by the tens of thousands (and in the case of Iraq, many hundreds of thousands). Is it just a "slip," pandering to his audience, or simply because they do not vote or otherwise count in his political calculus?
