we are fighting them because of who they are, not because of anything we did to them.

It is both. It has always been both. To think otherwise would mean that the Japanese fleet was just out tooling around in the Pacific one day and attacked Pearl Harbor on a lark.

Paul has some sensible immigration plans. I'm sure he read the 9/11 Commission Report and remembers the section on the 1993 WTC bombing and what happens when you grant blanket amnesty to people you know nothing about.

No, according to your view (and Ron Paul's) the Japanese had a valid reason to attack Pearl Harbor, since we were interfering with their attempts to control Asia.

The attacks against us by the Japanese would have happened sooner or later because we were the only major power able to stop them.

The Japanese jumped the gun and figured we would be bogged down in Europe and would not have the 'heart' to fight a long war with them.

Like the Muslims, they underestmated American resolve.

Actually, he has a good plan of securing the U.S. borders and dealing with the illegal's issue.

If he were smart he would try to bring it up to distance himself from the Pro-Illegal Immigration group.
