Well, since Dr. Paul did NOT say that, you should be okay.

Learn the difference between an explanation, which he gave, and a justification, which he did not.

I didn't see the debate. This is what he was reported as having said:

"Have you ever read about the reasons they attacked us? They attack us because we've been over there. We've been bombing Iraq for 10 years," he said.
Asked by a moderator if he was suggesting the United States invited the attacks, Paul said: "I'm suggesting we listen to the people who attacked us and the reason they did it. And they are delighted that we're over there because Osama bin Laden has said: I am glad you're over on our sand because we can target you so much easier."

Is this correct?
