Paul Sends Rudy Back To School

Hell yeah Ron Paul!

You see, I think that it is very unfortunate that Rudy Giuliani received such positive press for his public lashing of Dr. Paul at the last Republican candidate debate. However, if you listened carefully to Paul, you will notice that he did NOT say that the U.S. caused the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001. I think The Nation's John Nicols says it best:

Certainly, the vast majority of Americans would object to any attempt to justify the attacks on this country, its citizen and its soldiers. But that was not what Paul was doing. He was trying to make a case, based on what we know from past experience, for bringing U.S. troops home from Iraq.

Indeed.

The way that I see it, Ron Paul never said that the United States "invited" the 9/11 attacks. Paul was simply arguing that because of the United States' history of military interventions in the mid-east region, the Islamic jihadists who targeted the U.S. were inspired to carry out their attacks.

Oh, and there are others who agree with Ron Paul.

That's it.
