I have to take exception to your article.
Ron Paul spoke the truth at the debate. He did not say that our policies in any way justified the murders of 9/11. What he did say was that our foreign policies for the last 80 years (at least) have caused people around the world to hate us.
Yes there are a handful of radical Islamists who hate us just because we’re here. But they ARE NOT the ones who commit suicide terrorism. The people who actually blow themselves up are overwhelmingly motivated by the policy of occupation. They allow themselves to be recruited for suicide missions because they hate our occupation of their countries.
Don’t forget thet the nation of Iraq was created in the aftermath of WWI. Woodrow Wilson interfered with the post war negotiations that carved up the middle east and Asia. The resentments held by the Sunni’s, the Shi’ites and the Kurds are still simmering. These people have long memories. They still remember the CIA coup that installed the Shah in Iran. They remember the betrayal of the Araba who fought with “Lawrence of Arabia.”
It is our own idiotic foreign policy that causes “blowback.”
We need a radical change in our policy and only Ron Paul will deliver it.
Ron Paul - Hope for America - be part of it.
