Congressman Ron Paul Opposes Foreign Relations Authorization Act

Congressman Ron Paul Opposes Foreign Relations Authorization Act, claiming that it is just more nation building under the guise of supposed Democratization and is simply meddling in other governments internal affairs. He made a brief reference to how this sort of activity has not served the U.S. very well and pointed out the year 1953. He did not mention 1953 as relating to Iran, but that was the year U.S. government meddled in the internal affairs of Iran to overthrow the elected leadership, and thus set off a chain reaction of unintended consequence that haunts the U.S. to this day.
