At a couple of the debates, basically everyone except Paul was competing as far as how badly they wanted to bomb Iran. I'm hoping that they weren't serious and were just cynically talking about killing lots of people in order to get a good soundbite for the rubes, but it's scary any way you interpret it.

The fox news guy said he "jumped the shark" by not advocating immediate war. http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Elections/President/2011/1216/GOP-candidates-blast-Ron-Paul-over-Iran-policy.-Is-one-side-crazy http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Elections/President/2011/1216/G...
