Juan Cole on McCain’s equating Americans who don’t think we should be invading and occupying Muslim countries with Hitler appeasers - and Ron Paul’s brief, devastating answer:

Paul: He doesn’t even understand the difference between non-intervention and isolationism. I’m not an isolationism, (shakes head) em, isolationist. I want to trade with people, talk with people, travel. But I don’t want to send troops overseas using force to tell them how to live. We would object to it here and they’re going to object to us over there.

Why is it most Republicans can’t grasp this simplest of concepts?
