Is Ron Paul Right?

I never took Ron Paul seriously because he wanted to pull out of Iraq and I thought the costs of it would be catastrophic. Now that Iraq has been somewhat resolved (for debatable reasons, either we won because of the surge or the two sides ethnically cleansed one another and hence stopped fighting). But he is running again in 2012 and I think he basically has the right position on the two most important issues - the economy and Afghanistan:

His advocacy of limited government, disdain for the Federal Reserve and belief that the U.S. should withdraw its troops from Afghanistan has attracted an eclectic following of young people, anti-war activists and those wary of government intrusion.
