'''U.S. Involvement in Middle East:'''
*Against sending troops/fighting battles in Middle East
"The Kurds deserve to be armed and I'll arm them. But the boots on the ground need to be the people who live there. Why are we always the world's patsies that we have to go over there and fight their wars for them? We need to defend American interests, but it is not in America's national security interests to have another war in Iraq."[http://www.ontheissues.org/2016/Rand_Paul_Foreign_Policy.htm (OTI - ME)]
*Believes U.S. intervention in Libya strengthened Islamic State
*Proposed a bill called the "Stand with Israel Act" to cut off the flow of U.S. taxpayer dollars to the Palestinian Authority. As long as the Palestinian Authority is allied with Hamas not one more tax dollar should flow to them
