Speaking as a foreigner: 1. I think his economic/fiscal policy would be disastrous for America and therefore disastrous for the world in general, my country included. 2. I think his foreign policy overshoots in the right direction. I don't want a return to America waging gratuitous war and torturing, but I also don't want an America that thinks Russia, Iran and sea pirates would start behaving themselves if they were ignored. 3. If Ron Paul's candidacy can move GOP foreign policy away from wage-war-and-torture, that would be a wonderful thing. But I get the impression it is easier to shift GOP economic policy. 4. I get the impression that Fox News and Conservative talk radio in general are actively hostile to Ron Paul's policy positions, and want the neocons to return to power. But the rest of the media ignores him because they cover the horse race, not policies: they try to predict “Who will win?” rather than ask “Who should win?” (They seem to have concluded that the GOP's Christianist support is enough to deny Ron Paul the nomination.) This is not unique to America, and even in America it affects much more than Ron Paul.
