RAND PAUL -
The U.S. should never get involved where we have no clear national interest. We should not intervene militarily in a country like Syria, where we can’t separate friend from foe and might end up arming the very people who hate us the most.
RAND PAUL -
The state doesn’t own your children. Parents own the children.
