We need a good discussion in this country about the military spending and all the money we are spending on these idiotic wars (including the war on drugs). I think that is the main attraction of Ron Paul especially among young people. A good GOP debate where Romney has to justify his war-mongering might just start to turn a few GOP minds against war and military spending, at least that is my hope.
