Ron Paul still critical of US involvement in Libya | Deseret News - Kevin Freking, Associated Press:

Aug. 28, 2011 - "Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul said Sunday the apparent overthrow of Moammar Gadhafi's regime in Libya does not justify U.S. involvement there.... Asked on 'Fox News Sunday' whether getting rid of Gadhafi was a good thing, Paul conceded that it was but added that Gadhafi's departure did not mean the long-term result would be good for the United States. He said that getting rid of Saddam Hussein was also good, but that the long-term result in Iraq has not been a success for the U.S....

"'We have no idea of what's going to come out of Libya. I'm very skeptical,' he said....

"Paul's disdain for government interaction continued with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which has worked to help people along the East Coast deal with Hurricane Irene....
