However, he needs to get out of the lawyerly mold of qualifying all his positions. In this, the week that Barack Obama cast his lot with those who would go to war for Israel, Bob Barr needs to fill this vacuum and state clearly that he does not support AIPAC foreign policy, that he will bring our troops home from Iraq, that he will not go to war with Iran over nuclear weapons, and he must stop equivocating about "not telegraphing" our intentions as to when and how we will withdraw, or qualifying under what circumstances he will talk with Ahmadinejad. Down this desultory path lies another 1% showing in the Fall elections. No man ever captured the public information if he ran a campaign afraid of making enemies. Ronald Reagan showed the way - his campaign promises may have been oversimplified, but the people knew how he felt and what he wanted, and they trusted he would find the way to do it, even understanding that doing so would be more complicated that he said. And Ronald Reagan never qualified his aspirations for military and foreign policy focused upon protecting American interests, and those alone. Bob Barr must do the same.
