At a couple of the debates, basically everyone except Paul was competing as far as how badly they wanted to bomb Iran. I'm hoping that they weren't serious and were just cynically talking about killing lots of people in order to get a good soundbite for the rubes, but it's scary any way you interpret it. It's like these people are totally disconnected from the fact that they're talking about war.
EDIT: Here's an account of the exchange I was thinking of, Paul made the extremely controversial statement that he wasn't in favor of starting a war, and they all piled on him immediately. The fox news guy said he "jumped the shark" by not advocating immediate war.
