U.S. foreign policy was a reason why Osama bin Laden attacked America.
This is a fact.
Indeed.
I don’t care if we are in this because George Bush went over and peed on the first lady of Saudi Arabia on the front porch of her house. We are in this now and had damn well better win and win now. Equivocating now is less than useless, it’s stupid.
This is a fact.
Indeed.
Katherine Hepburn showing her ankle in The African Queen was a reason Osama bin Laden attacked America.
Children flying kites was a reason Osama bin Laden attacked America.
Richard de Couer Leon forcing Saladin into a peace treaty and allowing Christian pilgrims the right to travel unimpeded was a reason Osama bin Laden attacked America.
Yes,
And no reason to change our foreign policy..unless we collectively decide we like being attacked.
While this is true, it is not what Ron Paul actually said.
He said we were attacked over here because we were over there.
He implied that was the sole reason why we were attacked. I call BS on that.
This is a fact.
Indeed.
So? Japan attacked us because of our foreign policy. Germany attacked France because of France's, Britian's, and US foreign policy. That doesn't make them right to attack, it doesn't even mean the forign policy was wrong, although it was towards Germany. Pacifist foreign policy is always wrong.
From your post, it looks like you are a R. Paul supporter. If you are, perhaps you could answer a question for me so I get this straight.
What is Mr. Paul advocating that the United States should do [after the fact] if OBL attacked us because of our foreign policy? What should our future actions be?
That is the important point. A president can’t always change what happened in the past before he was elected.
It makes no sense to me for Congressman Paul to have made that point unless he was getting at what he would do if he were President. Where was he headed with the comment that he did make, which I’ve heard a video clip of?
