The times in history that Christendom went to war for Christianity were the worst in terms of spreading Christianity's influence. It's largest spreading has been, time after time, accomplished through the opposite of warfare, if anything.

Yeah, that has always been something that turned me away from him. Even the Democrates admit we cannot just run away at this point. That is something that struck me as merely a people pleaser aspect of Ron Paul. Has he ever addressed how that would work? It has always sounded to me that he had in mind just to pulling them out at the first possible chance.

He has said he would pull the troops out of Iraq immediately. That's why I would never vote for him.
However, don't call him a people pleaser. The guy is a very principled, old-fashioned conservative. He doesn't believe the world is our kid to babysit and I even agree with him on this. Unfortunately I think he misapplies the principle. For instance, while I firmly believe that we shouldn't be involved in places like the Middle East to the degree that we are, I still realize that we have important interests in that part of the world. If we weren't there, worse people would be, most likely.
