I watched the debate, and I am familiar with contemporary history. Dr. Paul is incorrect, we were not at war with Iran when we supported a coup that installed the Shah of Iran in 1953. The region was unstable then, as it is now, and for twenty-five years under the Shah there was stability in Iran, with a semi-Western style society that was friendly to our interests.
I think Rick Santorum, as stated in another post, is a typical big government "Hamiltonian Federalist" parading as a Republican. The only difference between him and a socialist Democrat, is that Santorum would push his brand of moral compass on America under a federalist system, and Paul exposed that during the debate. It didn't make Dr. Paul any more correct with regard to history, or his foreign policy.
