Ron Paul Defends His Position on Iran Before Iowa Voters
Tweet Share on Facebook December 31, 2011 Comment (18)LE MARS, IOWA — As Iran made international headlines with threats of nuclear tests (which the country now says it has delayed), Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul firmly defended his controversial position on Iran to Iowa voters.
At a campaign stop here, Paul reiterated his position that sanctions on Iran are "an act of war," a message he delivered at other stops in the Hawkeye State this week. "If we were prohibited from having imports into this country, we would consider it an act of war," he said. "The best way to think about this is the golden rule. If we don't want somebody to do it to us, we shouldn't do it to them."
