So now you know what binladin thinks...............
Ron Paul was blaming a rape victim for dressing “slutty”; he was blaming an abused woman for not listening to her husband; he was blaming a murder victim for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Dr. Paul said nothing of the sort, your analogies are silly.
US foreign policy going back decades has been to destabilize countries like iran & iraq, (remember the US installed puppet Shaw?) and put into power individuals who would in theory act in the best interest of the US. This policy has largely been a failure (IMHO).
Many in our country, including Dr. Paul, believe that this type of manipulation is clearly unconstitutional and should cease.
Yes, and so would you if you read what he writes. He calls us “Crusaders”, many Mullahs refer to the Iraqi invasion as the 14th Crusade.
And he did say that. He said that “our policies” (which were not the U.S. policies, but enforcement of the agreement between Saddam Hussein and the U.N. after the first Gulf War) was the reason that Osama bin Laden wanted to attack us.
But they weren’t “the” reason, they were “a” reason. And when you look at all of the reasons that bin Laden has stated, you realize they aren’t “reasons” at all but “excuses”.
So when I say that Ron Paul blamed the rape victim for dressing “slutty”, that is exactly what I mean.
Just as a rapists can say that her short skirt “caused” him to rape her, so bin Laden can say that our Iraq policy “caused” him to attack us.
It bull and you should know that.
