Ron Paul Delivers Again

"This might be a radical idea but maybe we can do it the other way round. Anything the government assumes they have a right to do to us, we should assume we have a right to do that to them. Would it be too radical to say that if the government lies to us we have the right to lie to the government?"

Woodrow Wilson and His Expectations for WWI

Tom Woods, an economic historian, tells the tale of Woodrow Wilson and his expectations going into WWI, a story which seems to be especially amplified in light of the current situation in Iraq and Iran:

"Wilson believed that the German Kaiser, the constitutional monarch of Germany, was a wicked man, this was the epitome of evil, we need a whole new regime in Germany. And he thought that by going to war he would replace a bad regime with a good one. But what he discovered is what a lot of people who want to plan economies have discovered - it's that when you intervene you don't often replace a bad situation with a good one. These interventions have unpredictable consequences - well, a lot of times they are predictable but the officials never seem to be able to predict them. What in fact happens is that you take at least a tolerable situation and replace it with a completely intolerable one. And unfortunately, although Wilson didn't live to see it, Americans learned the hard way that sometimes you remove an objectionable regime and the result is not a better regime, the result is a horrendous one."

You can find this quote here in his lectures on American history.
